To watch the 2025 World Series, you have several reliable options depending on your location and whether you have a cable subscription. Direct answer
- TV broadcast: Fox is the national broadcaster for World Series games in the United States. If you have a cable or satellite TV package, tune to Fox at the scheduled game times (8:00 PM ET/5:00 PM PT for most games in 2025, with pregame coverage starting earlier). Location-specific scheduling may vary, so verify your local Fox-affiliated channel during the World Series window. [Fox broadcasts are standard across the series]
- Streaming options:
- Fox via live TV streaming services: Platforms such as Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, DIRECTV STREAM, and Sling TV offer Fox in their channel packages, often with free trial periods. These services typically include access to Fox’s live World Series coverage where available, sometimes with authentication needed through a participating pay-TV provider.
* Fox One: Fox’s streaming platform, sometimes bundled with its wider services, provides live streaming of World Series games on compatible devices. A current subscription or trial may be required.
* MLB.TV (authenticated): In some regions, MLB.TV offers live World Series games to authenticated subscribers, especially where regional blackouts are not in effect. Check MLB’s postseason coverage details for your locale.
- International viewers: The World Series is distributed to multiple countries through local broadcasters and streaming partners; in Canada, Sportsnet covers the series nationally. If outside North America, consult your country’s local broadcaster listings for Fox-equivalent or MLB partner coverage.
Tips to ensure access
- Check the official MLB World Series schedule page for game times, broadcast partners, and any streaming notes specific to 2025. This page will list the exact channels and platforms for each game and any regional availability notes.
- If you don’t have cable, consider a free trial of a live streaming service that carries Fox, or use Fox One if you already subscribe to Fox services. Some services offer limited-time trials that can cover a portion of the World Series.
- For fans in Canada, Sportsnet is the primary broadcaster, so Canadian streaming options through Sportsnet or the Sportsnet NOW app may be the best route.
If you’d like, specify your country, whether you have cable, and preferred streaming services, and the exact World Series games you want to watch (e.g., all games, or only specific games), and the plan options that fit your setup can be tailored.
