The 116th [[World Series]] was a [[Playoff format|best-of-seven-playoff]] between the [[American League]] (AL) champion [[2020 Tampa Bay Rays season|Tampa Bay Rays]] and the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] (NL) champion [[2020 Los Angeles Dodgers season|Los Angeles Dodgers]]. The Dodgers defeated the Rays to win the series in six games for their first championship since [[1988 World Series|1988]]. Due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in North America|COVID-19 pandemic]], the entire series was played at [[Globe Life Field]] in [[Arlington, Texas]], from October 20 to October 27 with the ballpark's seating capacity limited to 25 percent (11,500 fans). The pandemic resulted in the regular season being reduced to 60 games, and the postseason being held at [[Home advantage#Neutral venues|neutral sites]] instead of at teams' home stadiums. Thus, it was the first World Series to be played at a neutral site, as well as the first since {{wsy|1944}} to be held at only one ballpark. Additionally, this was the first World Series since {{wsy|1993}} to be played entirely on [[artificial turf]] and the 5th all-artificial turf World Series. Further, it was the first ever [[World Series]] to be played entirely on second generation artificial turf. It was also the first World Series since {{wsy|1984}} to use the [[designated hitter]] for all games.<ref>{{cite news|last=Feinsand|first=Mark|title=MLB 2020 Postseason schedule announced|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-2020-postseason-schedule-announced|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|website=[[MLB.com]]|date=September 15, 2020|access-date=September 20, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/10/20/a-strange-world-series-begins-artificial-turf-one-stadium-tiny-crowd/|title=A strange World Series begins: artificial turf, one stadium, tiny crowd|newspaper=The Mercury News|agency=Associated Press|date=October 20, 2020}}</ref> With 2020 being the inaugural season for Globe Life Field, it became the first ballpark to host the World Series in its first year since [[Yankee Stadium]] in {{wsy|2009}}. Despite not playing on their home field, the Dodgers were still designated as having home-field advantage in the series with the better regular season record. Los Angeles and Tampa Bay alternated victories during the first four games of the series before the Dodgers won both Game 5 and 6, becoming the first designated home team to win the World Series since the [[2013 World Series|2013 edition]]. Los Angeles [[shortstop]] [[Corey Seager]] was named the [[World Series Most Valuable Player Award|World Series Most Valuable Player]] (MVP) after batting 8-for-20 (.400) with two [[home run]]s, five [[run batted in|runs batted in]], and an [[on-base percentage]] of .556.<ref>{{cite news|last=Justice|first=Richard|title=World Series MVP Seager 8th in special club|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/corey-seager-named-2020-world-series-mvp|publisher=[[MLB Advanced Media]]|website=[[MLB.com]]|date=October 28, 2020|access-date=October 28, 2020}}</ref> ==Background== {{See also|2020 Major League Baseball postseason}} ===Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic=== {{main|2020 Major League Baseball season#Schedule}} Due to the [[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sports|COVID-19 pandemic]], [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB) and the [[Major League Baseball Players Association|MLB Players Association]] (MLBPA) agreed to shorten the [[Major League Baseball schedule|standard 162-game season]] to 60 games, the shortest since [[1878 in baseball|1878]]. They also agreed to hold an expanded 16-team playoff tournament for only the 2020 season. In addition to each league's three division winners, each league's three division runners-up qualified, and two additional [[wild card (sports)|wild card teams]] per league qualified based on [[win–loss record]]. The first round was the Wild Card Series, a best-of-three playoff hosted by the higher seeded team. After that, the postseason maintained its standard format of a best-of-five [[League Division Series]], best-of-seven [[League Championship Series]], and the best-of-seven World Series.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29525547/mlb-players-union-oks-playoff-expansion-2020-sources-say|title=MLB, players' union agree to playoff expansion for 2020|work=ESPN|date=July 23, 2020|access-date=September 20, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Everything to know about expanded playoffs|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-announces-expanded-playoffs-for-2020|access-date=September 20, 2020|website=MLB.com|language=en}}</ref> [[File:Globelifefield_june2020.jpg|thumb|right|[[Globe Life Field]]]] {{multiple image | border = infobox | image_gap =  | footer = Rays manager [[Kevin Cash]] (top) and Dodgers manager [[Dave Roberts (outfielder)|Dave Roberts]] | align = right | direction = vertical | total_width = 230 | image1 = 2015 -WinterMeetings- Kevin Cash (23586674746).jpg | image2 = Dave Roberts Winter Meetings.jpg }} After COVID-19 outbreaks among several teams resulted in the postponement of about 40 regular season games, MLB and the MLBPA agreed to hold the division series, league championships, and World Series in protective "bubble" environments at neutral sites to limit the chances of experiencing another outbreak.
