Watch ‘MLB World Series 2019’ Online – Live Stream Nationals vs. Astros Without Cable

By Gabriela Vatu / October 23, 2019

The 2019 World Series is drawing near, and we're going to see who's taking home the trophy over the course of a week.

The World Series is a best-out-of-seven playoff played between the champions of the American League and the National League. This year, the Houston Astros is the leader of the American League, while the Washington Nationals is the leader of the National League. The fact that the Nationals has made it this far is a feat for a Washington, D.C. team since none had reached a World Series since back in 1933. As for the Houston team, they've made it to the World Series three times in total, and the second in three years.

This is the second World Series to feature two expansion teams, which means they're new additions to the league, from a city that has not hosted a team before.

The MLB World Series is scheduled to kick off on October 22nd and may end anywhere between October 26th and October 30th, depending on how many games are necessary, since this is a best-out-of-seven championship.

What's the World Series Schedule?

The MLB World Series 2019 will kick off on October 22nd, with games scheduled almost every day through October 30th. The last three games are only going to be played if necessary, so we'll just have to wait and see how this finale plays out.

Here's the full schedule for the event, complete with the home team and the field the game takes place on.

Date Time Teams Field

Who Has the 2019 World Series Broadcasting Rights?

While the regular MLB season is broadcast by multiple networks, the World Series only has one home - Fox. This will be the 20th straight year that Fox broadcasts the World Series, and the next couple of years will also see them taking the lead.

Joe Buck will be the play-by-play announcer of the event, while John Smoltz will be the color commentator, while Ken Rosenthal and Tom Verducci will be field reporters. The pregame shows will be hosted by Kevin Burkhardt, alongside analysts Frank Thomas, Alex Rodriguez, David Ortiz, and Dontrelle Willis.

All games telecast on Fox will also be available to watch on MLB.TV by subscribers who are authenticated through a participating pay-TV provider. Read more about watching on MLB.TV here.

How Can I Watch the 2019 World Series Outside of the United States?

One thing you have to keep in mind when traveling outside of the United States is that even if you pay for a service or another, you're not going to be able to access any of them. This happens because licensing deals don't allow these platforms to stream content beyond US borders. As annoying as this is, it's pretty common. Plus, it's also something that you can overcome quite easily by using a VPN to change your IP address and trick the site into thinking you are still in the United States. We'll direct you towards ExpressVPN because it's easily one of the best on the market today, with thousands of servers across the world, dozens of them in the United States, and tight security and privacy features to keep your data safe.

Here's what you need to do to watch the World Series when outside of the United States:

How to Watch World Series on MLB.TV

MLB.TV is a way for people from many corners of the world to watch baseball. The best part is that people from outside of the US don't even have to worry about blackouts, which is something that fans in the US and even in Canada have to worry about during season games. The postseason subscription costs $24.99.

While you may not be able to watch the games over on the MLB Network channel, you can still stream the content over on MLB.TV as long as you have an active subscription. US users also have to authenticate to one of the participating pay-TV providers such as Arvig, AT&T/DirecTV, Charter Spectrum, Cox, AT&T TV Now, Dish, Frontier Communications, Optimum, Suddenlink, Verizon FiOS, Wow, and others.

Can I Watch the 2019 World Series on the Fox Website?

This is something that baseball fans can do because the Fox website features a live stream that you can access. The only thing you need to do is to sign in to an account with the help of credentials from your TV provider, be it a live TV service or a cable company. There's even a Fox Now app that you can download for your devices.
