The Korean Series is the championship series of the Korea Baseball Organization. It has been held since the KBO's first season in 1982 and is the final series of the post-season play-offs. From 2005, the winner of the Korean Series goes on to play in the Asia Series.

The teams finishing in third and fourth place in the regular season face each other in the first round of the play-offs. The winner of the first round faces the team that finished in second place during the regular season, and the winner of that round faces the team that finished in first place for the championship in the Korean Series.

Korean Series winners

*Note: W indicates a Win for the eventual Korean Series champions, T indicates a tie, and L indicates a loss. Games in the KBO have a limit to the number of extra innings and/or time that could be played before being officially declared a tied game (except in 2008 when this rule was removed). When post-season games were declared tied, they had to be replayed.
