How to watch the ALCS and NLCS without cable
If you don’t have a cable or satellite TV subscription, you can watch the league championship series and the World Series with a live TV streaming service. Four of the five major live TV streaming services offer Fox, FS1 and TBS. Fubo is a poor fit for postseason baseball because it lacks TBS for the NLCS. Not every service carries every local network in every area, so be sure to check each service using the links below to make sure it carries Fox where you live for the World Series.
