The 1962 Major League Baseball season was contested from April 9 to October 16, 1962. The National League played a 162-game schedule for the first time, having added the Houston Colt .45s and the New York Mets as expansion teams. The American League had played its first 162-game schedule a year earlier.
The NL returned to New York City after a four-year absence, though the Mets would finish in last place.


The National League went to a tie-breaker series to decide the Pennant winner won by the San Francisco Giants over the Los Angeles Dodgers 2 games to 1.


In the World Series the New York Yankees defeated the San Francisco Giants 4 games to 3.
