When is the World Series, and what channel is the World Series on?
Experienced cord-cutters know that when you want to watch a live sporting event without cable, you have to see what channel the event is on and then find a way to get it online or over the air. That means you'll need to know what channel the 2021 World Series is on (and when each game is being played).
FOX holds the broadcast rights to the World Series, and every game will be broadcast on FOX. That's right: There's no need to worry about TBS, FS1, MLB Network, or any of the other channels you needed for the Divisional Series and Championship Series. From here on out, it's just FOX, FOX, FOX.
Here is the schedule for the 2021 World Series, which will feature the NL Champion Atlanta Braves vs. the Houston Astros, who won the AL pennant.
That's it for this year! Congratulations to the Atlanta Braves for winning the 2021 World Series in six games.

How to Watch the World Series Online and Over the Air Without Cable
You now know which channel you need to watch the World Series live, but the main question remains: How can you watch the World Series without cable?
Your best bet for getting live TV channels without cable is to subscribe to a live TV streaming service, or "skinny bundle." Much like cable or satellite, live TV streaming services offer bundles of television channels for a monthly fee. But there are important differences too.
Unlike cable and satellite, live TV streaming services will work on all sorts of devices, from smartphones to Roku TVs. They have plenty of perks too. Depending on which service you choose, you could time-shift TV with a cloud DVR, share a live feed with family members using other devices, or enjoy on-demand content. Live TV streaming services also tend to feature slimmed-down channel bundles (hence the nickname "skinny bundles") and similarly slimmed-down prices. Perhaps most importantly, live TV streaming services won't force you to sign a long-term contract.
Which live TV streaming services will work to watch the World Series without cable? Here are our picks.

YouTube TV
If you want to watch the World Series without cable, YouTube TV can help. Google's live TV streaming service offers a livestream of FOX in select markets. YouTube TV has even sponsored the World Series the past few years. All in all, the coverage is pretty good, and so is YouTube TV's app.
Free over-the-air TV
FOX is a broadcast channel, which means you can pick it up over the air for free. There's no reason to pay to watch World Series games on FOX when you can just set up an over-the-air antenna and enjoy them for free. For the big moments on FOX, all you need is an antenna!
Can I watch the World Series on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, or Chromecast?
