The champion is decided in a best-of-seven series, which began in 1985. Prior to that, it was a best-of-five series when it began in 1969 and this era to present day is considered the League Championship Series era.

In 2020 and 2021, we've seen rematches in the National League Championship Series or the NLCS with the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers meeting in the finales

The Braves captured the championship in seven games during the 2021 installment before the Dodgers did so in six games in 2020.

Make a note that only once since 1997 has a team won back-to-back NL Pennants which was done so by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2008 and 2009.
