The World Series kicked off in Los Angeles at the Dodgers' home stadium, where the LA-based team went on to win the first two games. The series made its way to New York on Monday, where the Dodgers once again won, this time on the Yankees home field in the Bronx.

The Dodgers are currently sitting on the precipice of an eighth World Series title, while the Yankees have racked up 27 titles in franchise history.
Whether you're hoping for a Dodgers sweep or rooting for the Yankees to catch up, we've got you covered when it comes to tuning into tonight's game. Keep reading to learn how.
What channel is the World Series on?
Game 4 of the 2024 MLB World Series will air on FOX. The game kicks off on Tuesday, October 28, at 8:08 p.m. ET. FOX will host the rest of the World Series should it go beyond tonight, including the contingent games 5-7.
How to watch the World Series in the US
If you don't have access to FOX through cable or an antenna, you can live stream the game through a month-to-month TV streaming package like Sling TV, DirecTV Stream, or Fubo.
Sling TV is the cheapest option, but it's important to keep in mind that local channel coverage (like FOX) varies from region to region for Sling. You should look up your zip code before subscribing to ensure the network is available to you. If it is, you'll need to subscribe to Sling Blue, which costs $40/month. You can usually get about half off your first month of service. You'll get 40+ live channels in addition to FOX.
DirecTV Stream and Fubo are two other top-rated live TV options that also made our list of the best sports streaming services. These are great options for those looking for a more comprehensive cable alternative or those who can't get FOX with Sling. Fubo prices start at $80/month and come with a one-week free trial, and DirecTV Stream subscriptions start at $87/month and include a five-day free trial. Fubo will also take $20 off your first month of service.
How to watch the World Series from anywhere
Gone are the days of missing out on a major game just because you're traveling abroad. You can keep up with the World Series via your usual subscriptions with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs let you change your electronic device's virtual location. This way, your go-to apps and websites work just like they would back home. The services we've recommended today require US payment methods, so this option will work best for Americans who are simply traveling outside the US at the moment.
Not sure where to start when it comes to VPNs? Our go-to recommendation is ExpressVPN, a straightforward option with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Check out our ExpressVPN review for more information, and keep reading to learn how to use a VPN.
