When the regular season schedule is announced
Regular season baseball games between the American League and National League are called interleague games. The first interleague games occurred in 1998 and have been a staple of the MLB schedule since. In 2013 the leagues were balanced to have 15 teams each (the Houston Astros switched from the National League to the American League) which necessitated interleague games throughout the season. Before 2013 interleague games typically happened in concentrated pockets during June and July.
Sunday, Oct. 3rd is the final day of the regular season. The National League and American League playoffs begin on Wednesday, Oct. 6th.
