Game 4 of the World Series had just about everything you could ask for—and more. A hard-fought slugfest. Freddie Freeman hitting his fourth home run in as many games. And a weirdly aggressive fan trying to rip a foul ball out of a Dodgers’ player’s mitt.

The Yankees kept their World Series dreams alive, though, and they’ll attempt to stay in the fight once again this evening. Gerrit Cole will take the mound for New York after an impressive performance in Game One.

No team has ever come back to win the World Series from a three-game deficit, but with the Yankees’ dominant performance on Tuesday (and Shohei Ohtani’s injury, which is clearly still bothering him), fans are wondering if this might be the year.

Planning to watch? We’ve got you covered.

When and where is the 2024 World Series being played? 

Game 5 (New York): Wed., Oct. 30, 8:08 p.m. ET on Fox

Game 6 (Los Angeles, if necessary): Friday, Nov. 1, 8:08 p.m. ET on Fox

Game 7 (Los Angeles, if necessary): Saturday, Nov. 2, 8:08 p.m. ET on Fox

How can I watch the 2024 World Series for free—even if I don’t have cable?

The World Series is being broadcast on Fox, so watching the game over the air is easy—and it won’t cost you anything beyond the price of equipment (which usually ranges between $10 and $20). To ensure you’re getting the most reliable signal, get a good HD antenna and test it in multiple locations in your home.

Can I stream the 2024 World Series live online if I don’t have a cable subscription?

Yep. If you do have a cable subscription and will not be near your living room, the game is being streamed live on the Fox Sports Go app. (You can also try logging into Fox.com or use the Fox Now app.) Otherwise, one of these should work.

Disney+

Disney’s bundle of Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ no longer has a free trial, so you’ll have to pay $17 per month for all three combined (or $30 per month for no ads on Hulu).

Including Live TV in the bundle bumps the price to $77 per month ($90 with no ads).

Hulu with Live TV

The free trial on this service lasts three days. Afterward, it will cost you $77 per month.

YouTubeTV

After a free trial, you can expect monthly charges of $73.

Sling TV

Dish Network’s Sling lower-tiered “Orange” plan will run you $40 per month. Adding the more comprehensive “Blue” plan bumps the cost to $55 per month. The seven-day free trial has disappeared, unfortunately.

DirecTV Stream

Formerly known as DirecTV Now, AT&T TVNow and AT&T TV, this oft-renamed streaming service will run you $80 per month and up after the free trial option.

Fubo TV

This sports-focused cord-cutting service carries broadcast networks in most markets. There’s a seven-day free trial, followed by monthly charges of $80 and up, depending on the channels you choose.

Does Major League Baseball offer any viewing options to watch the World Series?

MLB.TV offers every post season game, including archived broadcasts of the playoffs. There’s no free trial, but for $29.99, you can watch the World Series games. If you’d prefer to only listen to the games, that will cost just $3.99. Either way, you will need to authenticate a subscription to a participating Pay TV provider to stream the games live.
