The 2016 American League Championship Series (ALCS) was a best-of-seven playoff in Major League Baseball's 2016 postseason pitting the fourth-seeded Toronto Blue Jays against the second-seeded Cleveland Indians for the American League (AL) pennant and the right to play in the 2016 World Series against the Chicago Cubs. The Indians had home-field advantage for the series because the Blue Jays qualified as a wild-card team. The Indians defeated the Blue Jays four games to one.
The series was the 47th in league history. TBS televised all games in the United States, with Sportsnet, a property of Toronto Blue Jays owner Rogers Communications, airing all games in Canada using the TBS feed.[1][2]
The Indians would go on to lose to the Chicago Cubs in the World Series in seven games, after squandering a 3–1 series lead.
