We know the World Series is on FOX, but that's only half the battle. The question remains: how do we watch FOX without cable?

Thanks to the advances in modern streaming services, finding particular live TV channels without cable is easier than ever. Streaming services let users pick and choose the channels they want and won't lock them into a lengthy service contract. Many streaming services also come equipped with mobile apps, so you can have access to all your favorite content on the go.

Not every service offers access to every network, however, so users might have to do a little shopping to find all the content they want. MLB fans can follow our guide below to find our picks of streaming services that offer World Series access without cable.

The livestreaming arm of the popular on-demand streaming service Hulu is called Hulu + Live TV. It offers a livestream of FOX in select markets, which means you’ll be able to watch every single game of the World Series using Hulu + Live TV.

Streaming service fuboTV was built with sports fans in mind. It offers FOX, so it certainly lives up to its sports-centric reputation when the World Series is on. If you’d like to read more about what exactly a sports-focused streaming service looks like, check out our fuboTV review.

You can get FOX in a few markets on Sling TV — and when we say “a few,” we mean fewer than 20 as of this writing. (Los Angeles is one of the available markets, as if Dodgers fans weren’t lucky enough!) Our Sling TV review has more information about the other networks offered by the service.

YouTube TV

If you want to watch the World Series without cable, YouTube TV can help. Google’s live TV streaming service offers a livestream of FOX in select markets. YouTube TV has even sponsored the World Series the past few years. All in all, the coverage is pretty good, and so is YouTube TV’s app.

Free Over-the-Air TV

FOX is a broadcast channel, which means you can pick it up over the air for free. There’s no reason to pay to watch World Series games on FOX when you can just set up an over-the-air antenna and enjoy them for free. For the big moments on FOX, all you need is an antenna!

With the services above, you can watch the World Series on all kinds of devices, from your smartphone to your big-screen TV. Let’s talk about platform-support specifics — or, rather, let’s let the chart do the talking.

The World Series ends in late October or early November, at which time you’ll face the long and boring offseason. But never fear: Major League Baseball will start again soon enough, and — just like always — we’ll be there to help you stream every MLB game without cable.

Check out our coverage of MLB streaming options, including your best cord-cutting options for the MLB postseason. We’ll also be checking out team-specific options for big-market teams such as the Boston Red Sox. Die-hard baseball fans may also want to check out our guide to MLB.TV and our complete MLB.TV review.
