The Philadelphia Phillies will face the Houston Astros in the 2022 World Series on Fox.
The 2022 World Series begins October 28, with a potential game seven scheduled for November 5.
You can stream the World Series on Fox through services like YouTube TV, Sling TV, and Fubo TV.
The 2022 World Series will feature the Houston Astros going up against the Philadelphia Phillies. The first game will be broadcast on October 28, and Fox will air every matchup in the best-of-seven series. You can also use the MLB app and MLB.TV to watch the World Series while you’re on the go, but you’ll need to log in with a pay-TV provider.
The Astros have reached their fourth World Series in the last six years, and will try to earn their first championship since 2017, which was the same season that got the team embroiled in a cheating scandal that led to the firing of former manager A.J. Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow. The Astros have yet to lose a game in the playoffs after finishing with the best regular season record in the AL.
The Phillies last made the World Series in 2009, where they lost to the New York Yankees, and their last championship came in 2008. Led by 2021 NL MVP Bryce Harper, the Phillies have made a surprisingly dominant run through the playoffs as the lowest wild card seed.
Dodgers announcer Joe Davis will join Hall of Fame pitcher John Smoltz in the broadcast booth for the 2022 World Series, replacing Joe Buck as Fox’s play-by-play announcer after Buck’s departure to ESPN earlier this year. Fox’s pregame team of Alex Rodriguez, David Ortiz, and Frank Thomas will return with host Kevin Burkhardt, while Ken Rosenthal and Tom Verducci complete the broadcast team as field reporters.
2022 World Series schedule
Every game of the 2022 World Series will air on Fox, and the series will continue until one team wins four games and clinches the championship. Each game is scheduled to begin at 8:03 p.m. ET, with rest days set for October 30 and November 3.

How to watch the 2022 World Series
You can watch the 2022 World Series for free via Fox if you already have access to broadcast TV. You can also log in with a pay-TV account to stream the games on MLB.TV and Fox.com, or with their respective apps.
If you don’t already have access to broadcast or cable TV, you can also watch the World Series on Fox through a live TV streaming service that carries the channel. Options include platforms like YouTube TV, Sling TV, FuboTV, and Hulu + Live TV.
Not counting any free trial offers, Sling TV is the most affordable option to watch the World Series. The Blue plan includes Fox for $35 a month and new subscribers can get their first month for 50% off. However, Sling’s access to Fox is based on your local market, so be sure to check the official list to see if you’re near one of Sling’s covered areas.
If you can take advantage of its free one-week trial offer, FuboTV is another good option to stream the World Series on Fox. It offers a seven-day trial to new members, but that won’t cover every matchup if the World Series goes to game seven. Fubo TV plans start at $70 a month and you’ll be charged once the trial ends.
YouTube TV also includes Fox and offers a three-day free trial for new subscribers. New members can currently get their first three months for a discounted rate of $55 a month. The service normally costs $65 a month.
Finally, Hulu + Live TV also offers Fox with plans starting at $70 a month. Unfortunately, there is no free trial but Hulu’s live TV plan does have the extra benefit of including Disney Plus and ESPN+ for no extra charge.
