1936 Major League Baseball season

The 1936 major league baseball season began on April 14, 1936. The regular season ended on September 27, with the New York Giants and New York Yankees as the regular season champions of the National League and American League, respectively. The postseason began with Game 1 of the 33rd World Series on September 30 and ended with Game 6 on October 6. In the fourth iteration of this World Series matchup, the Yankees defeated the Giants, four games to two, capturing their fifth championship in franchise history, since their previous in 1932, and their first in a four-World Series run. Going into the season, the defending World Series champions were the Detroit Tigers from the 1935 season.

The fourth All-Star Game was held on July 7 at National League Park in Boston, Massachusetts, home of the Boston Bees. The National League had their first All-Star victory, winning 4–3.

The Boston Braves changed their nickname to "Bees" this season; they would revert to the Braves in 1941.
