The 2020 National League Championship Series was the best-of-seven series in Major League Baseball’s 2020 postseason between the two National League Division Series winners, the second-seeded Atlanta Braves and the overall #1 seed Los Angeles Dodgers, for the National League (NL) pennant and the right to play in the 2020 World Series. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all games for the series were held at a neutral site, Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. The series was the 51st in league history. The games were televised nationally by Fox and FS1. The Dodgers defeated the Braves in seven games, winning their third National League pennant in four seasons. The Dodgers were the fourteenth team in postseason history to come back from a 3–1 series deficit. Los Angeles then went on to win their first World Series in 32 years against the Tampa Bay Rays in six games.
