How to Watch the 2026 World Series on TV

Every game of the 2026 World Series airs on FOX, and every scheduled first pitch is at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT). The series begins Oct. 23, with up to seven games scheduled through Oct. 31, and the Milwaukee Brewers will face the American League champion.

Spanish-language coverage is on FOX Deportes, and you can stream the FOX broadcast on FOX One. If you don’t have cable, an antenna is the free over-the-air option. FOX is a broadcast network, so if you can pick up your local FOX station, you can watch every game.

The World Series is a best-of-seven series in a 2-3-2 format. Milwaukee hosts Games 1 and 2 at American Family Field, plus Games 6 and 7 if they’re needed, and the AL champion hosts Games 3 through 5. Home-field advantage goes to the team with the better regular-season record, and MLB’s schedule lists the Brewers as the Game 1 host. Oct. 25 and Oct. 29 are travel days. Games 5 through 7 are played only if neither team has won four games yet.

How to Watch the World Series on TV in the US

With an Antenna (free)

Start here. FOX is an over-the-air broadcast network, so if your antenna picks up your local FOX station, you can watch all seven games without a subscription. Most other playoff baseball airs on cable channels, which is why this works for the World Series in particular. If you’re not sure you can get FOX where you live, scan for channels on your TV before Game 1 on Oct. 23.

With Cable or Satellite

Tune to your local FOX station. To watch through an app on a smart TV or streaming device, sign in to FOX One with your TV provider account. The FOX Sports app stopped supporting TVs and connected-TV devices on May 7, 2026. That includes Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Google TV, Samsung and LG. Use FOX One on your TV instead.

In Spanish

FOX Deportes carries every game in Spanish, and Univision also airs Game 1.

A Common Mix-up

World Series games air on FOX, not FS1.

If you’d rather listen, ESPN Radio carries the national radio broadcast.

How to Stream the World Series Without Cable

To stream the World Series without cable, you can subscribe directly to FOX One or choose a live TV streaming service that provides access to FOX. Availability, pricing and trial terms vary by service and location. Before you sign up, check three things: whether it includes FOX, what it costs, and whether it covers every game you want to watch.

مۇلازىمەت	Price	Local FOX access	Trial or limitation
FOX One	$19.99/month	Streams FOX’s World Series coverage	3-day free trial for eligible new subscribers
Sling Select	From $19.99/month; local-channel surcharges may apply	Local channels in select markets; FOX One app access also supported	Check your ZIP code and FOX One sign-in eligibility
YouTube TV Sports Plan	$64.99/month	Location-dependent	Check trial eligibility
Hulu + نەق مەيدان تېلېۋىزىيەسى	$99.99/month; $49.99 first month for eligible subscribers through Oct. 26	Location-dependent	Promo price applies to the first month only
DIRECTV	$59.99 first month on some plans; regular pricing, taxes and possible equipment fees apply after	Location-dependent	Check plan terms
Fubo	See Fubo for current plans	Location-dependent	Check trial eligibility

Prices checked October 2026. Plans and promotions change often, so confirm current pricing on each provider’s site.

FOX One and Sling Select have the same starting price. Sling only carries a local FOX channel in some markets, where locals can add $5 or $10 a month, but not having local FOX on Sling doesn’t necessarily rule you out. Sling says subscribers can also sign in to the FOX One app with their Sling account to watch the World Series. Before subscribing, check your ZIP code and confirm that your Sling plan supports FOX One sign-in.

Don’t count on a free trial for the whole series. FOX One’s 3-day free trial is for eligible new subscribers. A full seven-game series runs nine days, from Oct. 23 to Oct. 31. To watch every game, you’ll need to keep a paid subscription past the trial or use an antenna.

MLB.TV won’t work on its own in the US. You can’t stream World Series games live on MLB.TV in the US unless you also sign in with a participating pay-TV provider. That means it isn’t a cord-cutting option.

Which option fits you:

• If you only want the World Series, use an antenna or pay for one month of FOX One.
• If you also want other cable channels, a live TV streaming service is the better buy.

How to Watch the World Series Outside the US

Canada

Sportsnet and Sportsnet+ carry all seven scheduled games in English, and TVA Sports carries the French-language broadcast. MLB.TV’s live postseason streams aren’t available in Canada.

United Kingdom

TNT Sports holds MLB broadcast rights in the UK, and TNT Sports streams on HBO Max. You can also subscribe through Amazon Prime Video.

Make sure your plan includes TNT Sports, because standard HBO Max entertainment plans don’t include live sports. The standalone TNT Sports plan costs £30.99 a month, and there’s a cheaper Saver option with a 12-month contract.

Check the TNT Sports schedule to see which World Series games it shows live. You can also watch live postseason games in the UK with an eligible MLB.TV subscription, which is available in international markets outside the US and Canada.

In the UK, every game starts at or after midnight on the calendar day following its scheduled US date. The UK leaves British Summer Time on Oct. 25, a week before US clocks change on Nov. 1. That shortens the gap from five hours to four, so start times move one hour earlier partway through the series:

• Game 1: 1 a.m. BST, Saturday, Oct. 24
• Game 2: 1 a.m. BST, Sunday, Oct. 25
• Game 3: 12 a.m. GMT, Tuesday, Oct. 27
• Game 4: 12 a.m. GMT, Wednesday, Oct. 28
• Game 5 (if necessary): 12 a.m. GMT, Thursday, Oct. 29
• Game 6 (if necessary): 12 a.m. GMT, Saturday, Oct. 31
• Game 7 (if necessary): 12 a.m. GMT, Sunday, Nov. 1

Other Countries

Check MLB’s international broadcaster directory for the official broadcaster where you live.

Getting the Game From Your Phone to Your TV

The easiest way to watch on your TV is to use the FOX One app on the TV itself. If your TV doesn’t support it, check whether the FOX One app on your phone offers Chromecast or AirPlay for the game you’re watching.

If neither works with your setup, 1001 TVs is a screen-mirroring app that can show your phone’s screen on your TV. It doesn’t provide World Series coverage or bypass DRM, so protected streams may not display when mirrored. To set it up, see our guides to using 1001 TVs to mirror an iPhone or iPad to a TV or an Android phone to a TV.
