162, but some seasons a team may play one or two less than that, owing to games that were rained out, but it was determined that a make-up game serves no purpose in the standings

162 regular season games are scheduled, but as the previous answer said, if a game is rained out, there's no convenient time to make it up, and it wouldn't affect the standings, it's not made up. In addition, if two teams finish tied for the wild card, or tied for the division championship where the loser would be eliminated from the postseason, they play a one-game playoff, with site determined by coin flip. This game counts as a regular-season game, with all stats counting.

On rare occasions, a team might play 163 games. This occurs when a game ends in a tie. Tie games are rare, but they do occur. Although they do not appear in the standings, player records from the game do count, so it is possible to see a team's record reflect only 162 games played, yet see players on the team who played in 163 games that season.
