The teams once again face off in Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. LA won game one in wonderfully dramatic fashion last night with an iconic walk-off Grand Slam from Freddie Freeman to beat the Yankees right at the death. The Los Angeles Dodgers are vying for their eighth World Series title, while the New York Yankees hope to add a 28th title to their trophy shelf. The Yankees will return home for the next two games, scheduled from Monday at the Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.
Below, we've put together everything you need to know about how to watch the Dodgers vs. Yankees Game 2. The channel options remain the same for the entire World Series, so you won't need to sign up for multiple services.
What channel is the World Series on?
Game 2 will start on Saturday, October 26, at 8:08 p.m. ET. It will air on FOX, the same channel hosting all 2024 World Series games.
How to watch the World Series in the US
Cord-cutters can live stream FOX via a month-to-month live TV streaming service. Sling TV, DirecTV Stream, and Fubo are three of our favorites, which we break down in our guide to the best sports streaming services.
Sling TV is one of the more affordable live TV packages out there, with subscriptions starting at $40/month. Sling Blue carries local channels like FOX, but exact availability varies by region, so you should double-check that the service offers FOX in your area before signing up. New customers can usually get about half off their first month, making it just a $20 investment for the entire World Series.
If Sling doesn't offer FOX in your area or you're looking for a more comprehensive live TV service, DirecTV Stream or Fubo might be the way to go. DirecTV Stream plans start at $87/month and include 90+ channels, while Fubo subscriptions start at $80/month and feature 150+ channels. Both services offer free trials, and Fubo will also take $20 off your first month of service should you decide to hold onto your subscription beyond the trial period.
How to watch the World Series from anywhere
Baseball fans traveling outside of the US don't need to worry about missing out on any of the action. People can keep up with their usual viewing options from anywhere by using a VPN (virtual private network) like ExpressVPN. VPNs allow people to temporarily change their device's virtual location, meaning that apps and subscriptions work just like they would back home. Plus, they're solid ways to boost online security.
Since the streaming options we've highlighted require US payment methods, this option will work best for Americans who are simply abroad at the moment. For more information on ExpressVPN, which comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, check out our ExpressVPN review. Keep reading to learn how to use a VPN.
How to watch the World Series with a VPN
- Sign up for a VPN if you don't have one.
- Install it on the device you're using to watch the game.
- Turn it on and set it to a US location.
- Sign up for your chosen streaming service if you don't already have an account.
- Enjoy the game!
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
