Here's what you need to know in order to watch the World Series.

How to watch 2024 World Series in the US

All World Series games are airing on Fox for US audiences. That means that if you have a traditional pay-TV provider, a TV antenna or a live TV streaming service like Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV, YouTube TV or MLBTV then you can tune in to watch the games live.

Fox does not have its own dedicated streaming service, so if you've cut the cord from live TV services there is no immediate alternative.
