Crew Chiefs are indicated in bold text and by the -cc suffix, regular season crew chiefs with an asterisk (*), interim crew chiefs with a degree (°), and first postseason assignments by the tag (^1st postseason^). The following crews are presented in their Game 1 rotation, such that umpires assigned to the plate in Game 1 move to right field for Game 2 and left field for Game 3.
Umpires assigned to 1B and 2B have home plate duties in games two and three (if necessary), respectively, indicating that MLB holds these umpires in high regard for their plate work. Due to baseball's unique 2020 postseason format, MLB has assigned an unprecedented number of umpires to the postseason. The Wild Card Series is the first round of four.
