Season structure
Regular season
- Each team played 133 games during the regular season.
All-Star Game
On 21 July, the best players participate in the Korean All-Star Game. The franchises participating are divided into two regions: Eastern League and Western League. The titles 'Eastern' and 'Western' do not directly correspond to the geographical regions of the franchises involved, as both SK and Doosan, being from Incheon and Seoul respectively, are clearly based in the Western region of Korea, despite representing the East. Unlike in the MLB, the Korean All-Star Game does not determine home-field advantage in the Korean Series. The most recent Korean All-Star Game was played in Seoul. 2012 Korean All-Star Game won 5-2 by the Eastern League.Postseason
