It's happened many times. Whenever two teams finish the season tied and a playoff spot is at stake, eithe ra 1-game (AL) or 3-game (NL) playoff series is played which count as regular season games to settle the tie. For example, Maury Wills played 165 games in 1962 - all 162 regularly scheduled games, then all 3 of the playoff series that was necessary when the Dodgers ended up tied with the Giants.

Ties also count as official games and can add to the 162.
