The 2021 American League Championship Series was the best-of-seven series in Major League Baseball's (MLB) 2021 postseason between the fourth-seeded Boston Red Sox and the second-seeded Houston Astros. The series determined the American League pennant winner, the Astros, who advanced to the 2021 World Series.
The series was played in a 2–3–2 format, with the Astros hosting the first two and game 6 (they would also have hosted game 7 if there was one) games as the higher seeded team.[1] Fox and FS1 televised all games in the United States.
The Astros would go on to lose to the Atlanta Braves in the World Series in six games.
