The Tampa Bay Rays face the Milwaukee Brewers for the ultimate baseball title. We've rounded up everything you need to know about where to watch the World Series, including live streaming options for those without cable.
If you don't want to scroll any further, we've got you covered. You can live stream all four (or possibly seven) games on FOX via a streaming service like YouTube TV in the US. If you're traveling away from home and hoping to keep up with your usual watch options, you can do so with a VPN, such as NordVPN.
What channel is the World Series on?
All four to seven games of the 2026 World Series will air on FOX at 8 p.m. ET.
Where to watch the World Series in the US
FOX is available over-the-air, so there's a good chance you'll be able to get it with an antenna. If you don't have an antenna or cable, you can catch the entire series with a streaming service. FOX offers a direct streaming counterpart, FOX One, which costs $20 a month and is available through the FOX website.
If you're in the market for something with other channels beyond just FOX, a live TV streaming service will be able to help you out. YouTube TV and Fubo are two of our top FOX-friendly recommendations right now.
FOX is available in YouTube TV's Main and Sports plans, which offer 100+ and 30+ channels, respectively. YouTube TV's Main plan typically costs $83 a month, but a limited-time deal will knock down the first five months for first-time users to just $68 a month after a free trial.
FOX is also available in multiple Fubo plans, including the flagship Fubo Pro. Pro, which offers 200+ channels, normally costs $89 a month, but new customers can get $25 off their first month after a free trial.
How to watch the World Series from anywhere
Baseball fans traveling abroad can still access their usual streaming options by using a VPN, or virtual private network. VPNs are handy tech tools that let people temporarily alter their virtual locations. This way, their favorite websites and apps work from anywhere in the world the same way they would back home. The services we've highlighted require US methods of payment, so this option will work best for Americans who are simply traveling abroad right now.
NordVPN is one of the best VPN services we've tested. It's speedy, user-friendly, and has a 30-day money-back guarantee if you find that it's not helping you out.
