American League Championship Series

American League Championship Series on ammattilaisbaseball-sarjan American Leaguen loppuottelusarja, joka on vuodesta 1969 lähtien ratkaissut ns. Liiga pennantin eli mestaruuden ja pääsyn World Seriesiin National Leaguen voittajaa vastaan. Aiemmin mestaruus ratkesi suoraan sarjaotteluiden perusteella. Vuoteen 1984 saakka voittaja ratkaistiin paras viidestä ja kaudesta 1985 lähtien paras seitsemästä -menetelmällä. Vuonna 1994 sarja jäi pelaamatta pelaajien lakon vuoksi.
