Stateside Supporters: Tuning In from the Comfort of Your Couch
Let's face it, not everyone can jet-set across the Atlantic for a baseball game (though wouldn't that be a story for the grandkids?). Fear not, fellow fans! Here are your options for watching the series unfold from the blissful comfort of your living room:
- Classics Never Go Out of Style: Catch it on FOX (Saturday) and ESPN (Sunday) - That's right, these trusty networks will be broadcasting both games. Gather your mates, fire up the barbecue (or order takeout, no judgment here), and get ready for some top-notch baseball.
- The Modern Approach: Stream it on MLB.TV or the Respective Team Apps - Feeling tech-savvy? MLB.TV has you covered with a live stream of both games. Bonus points if you can explain the offside rule to your confused neighbor while watching. Die-hard Mets or Phillies fan? Their team apps might also offer streaming options.
