    Washington Nationals Playoff History

    The Washington Nationals moved to Washington D.C. for the 2005 Major League Baseball season. Since then, the team has been a frequent participant in the postseason, routinely boasting some of the brightest stars in the league. Included in a rundown of the stars that have played for the Nationals in the playoffs are a number of award winners in those seasons.

    At the top of the list of stars for the Nationals in the playoffs is Bryce Harper. The face of the Nationals throughout much of the 2010s, Harper was always one of the players that the team turned to in hopes that he could deliver in a big spot. In the 2014 postseason, Harper managed to do just that during the Division Series against the San Francisco Giants. Harper hit .294 in that series, with three home runs in the four games.

    During the Nationals postseason history, the team has taken part in several mini-rivalries against National League competition. Among those adversaries have been the St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Chicago Cubs, all of whom went toe-to-toe with the Nats in dramatic five-game series in the Wild Card round. With so much intensity in win or go home games, it is no surprise that playing in those situations can lead to such rivalry games.

    Washington has seen several award winners play for the team in seasons where they made the playoffs. Mangers of the Year in Davey Johnson and Matt Williams have been at the helm for playoff teams in Washington, in addition to the players that have taken home various honors in playoff seasons. Bryce Harper was the Rookie of the Year in the 2012 season where the Nationals made the playoffs for the first time in Washington. And Max Scherzer won the Cy Young award for his performance in two seasons where the Nats qualified for the playoffs.

    Stephen Strasburg is another name that has taken the big stage for the Nationals during their playoff history. The former top pick for the Nationals organization didn’t give up an earned run in postseason play in 14 innings during the 2017 Division Series, proving himself as one of the best pitchers in the history of the Washington Nationals organization. Including the 2014 and 2017 postseasons, Strasburg gave up one earned run in 19 innings pitched, one of the best starts imaginable for a pitcher of his caliber.

    What makes Washington Nationals postseason games special for fans?

    Buying Washington Nationals postseason tickets isn’t just about attending another game—it’s about experiencing something bigger. Here’s what makes postseason special compared to the regular season, and why it’s worth securing tickets early:

    • Higher stakes and intensity: Postseason Nationals games are when every action counts. The pressure is on, the matchups more meaningful, and the atmosphere electric. If you want to see critical plays, clutch moments, and possibly history being made, this is where it happens.

    • Scarcity and urgency: There are fewer postseason games, and demand shoots up fast. Premium seats fill up quickly. Buying tickets early means better choice in seating, avoiding inflated resale prices, and locking in your spot before the buzz drives them higher.

    • Exclusive perks and priority: Ticket holders often get extras that regular-season attendees don’t always get: priority access to purchase playoff tickets (especially if you’re a season-ticket or membership holder), exclusive merchandise, special events, themed game nights, or upgraded amenities (parking, entrance, etc.).

    • Memorable atmosphere and fan energy: The crowd is more invested, the media presence greater, and the tension more palpable. Postseason Nationals games tend to be more electric—fans are louder, anticipation is higher, and the emotional payoff is bigger.

    • Opportunity to witness defining moments: These are the Washington Nationals fans talk about for years. Comebacks, championships, career highlights—postseason is when legacies are built. If you want to be there for those moments, this is your chance.

    • Better value in some cases: Even though the tickets might cost more, when balanced against what you get (intensity, perks, memorable experience), many fans find postseason Nationals tickets fetch greater value per dollar compared to regular season games, especially when you consider resale value or experiential payoff.

    What if Washington Nationals postseason game is rained out?

    If the Washington Nationals postseason game is rained out, either your ticket remains valid for the rescheduled event, or you get a full refund if it’s canceled. SeatGeek keeps you updated every step of the way and ensures you’re always protected.
