For fans of New York sports teams, the 14th is a triple-event day.
The Yankees and Mets of the US Major League Baseball (MLB) have championship series in their respective leagues. This will be the first time in 18 years that the Mets and Yankees will play on the same day in the postseason. In the NFL, the Jets will face the Buffalo Bills.
There is a possibility that these three games will compete for TV viewers.
On this day, the Mets will play the second game of the National League championship series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, to whom Shohei Ohtani plays. The venue is Dodger Stadium, and the start time is 4:08 p.m. ET (5:08 a.m. Japan time on the 15th). The game will be broadcast on FOX. The Mets lost the first game the day before, 0-9.

Next, at 7:38 p.m., the Yankees will face the Cleveland Guardians in the American League Championship Series. The game, which will be held at Yankee Stadium, will be broadcast by TBS. The Yankees, who have won the World Series the most with 27, are aiming to win the series for the first time since 2009.
If the Yankees and Mets win their respective championship series, the New York-based teams will meet in the World Series for the first time in 24 years.
Unlike the two MLB teams, the Jets will be playing a regular season game, but it will be a game at an important moment for the team.
Owner Woody Johnson fired head coach Rob Saller last week after the team started the season with a disappointing 2-3 record. The 14th will be the first game under interim head coach Jeff Albrick. If the Jets win this game, they will take first place in the American Football Conference (AFC) East. The game will be broadcast on ABC and ESPN starting at 8:15 p.m.
