How to Watch Every Game of the World Baseball Classic 2026

The group stage drama is in the books, and the stakes are about to get even higher at the World Baseball Classic. After days of intense round-robin matchups, the tournament is officially moving into the knockout rounds, where every pitch, swing, and defensive play could determine who moves on.

If you’re planning to tune in for the most thrilling part of the tournament, here’s how and where to watch the quarterfinals and beyond, plus what makes this stage of the WBC must-see baseball.

The Tournament Is Entering the Knockout Stage

The round-robin portion of the World Baseball Classic has wrapped, meaning the field has been narrowed to the top teams from each pool. Those teams are now advancing to the quarterfinals, where the format shifts from group play to a single-elimination bracket.

That means there’s no margin for error anymore. One loss ends a team’s championship hopes.

The quarterfinal winners will advance to the semifinals, and from there the final two teams will battle it out in the championship game to determine who takes home the global title.

Historically, this stage is where the WBC becomes truly electric. The intensity ramps up, bullpens get used aggressively, and stars often deliver some of the tournament’s most memorable moments.

Where to Watch the World Baseball Classic

In the United States, the games are being broadcast across the FOX Sports family of networks. Fans can catch the action on FOX, FS1, and the MLB Network.

Typically, the biggest matchups — including the semifinals and championship game — air on FOX, while earlier knockout games appear on FS1 or MLB Network.

Because the tournament is played across multiple countries and time zones, start times can vary widely. Some games may air in the afternoon, while others could be late-night or early-morning viewing depending on where they’re held.

How to Stream the Games

If you don’t have cable, you still have several options to watch the tournament live.

The FOX Sports App allows viewers to stream games that air on FOX and FS1 by logging in with a TV provider.

Live TV streaming platforms that carry those channels include:

Meanwhile, games shown on MLB Network may also be available through MLB.TV, depending on your region and subscription. Check out a list of when and where to watch each remaining game of the World Baseball Classic 2026.
