The participating teams have not yet been determined. Game start times have not been announced either.\n\nThe schedule and broadcast information are based on MLB guidance available through October 12, 2026, U.S. date.\n\n## World Series key information\n\nThe World Series is the final series that determines the MLB season champion. The American League and National League representatives face each other. It is a separate stage from the preceding League Championship Series.\n\n| Item | 2026 information |\n| --- | --- |\n| First game | Scheduled for October 23, U.S. date |\n| Last game | Scheduled for October 31, U.S. date, if Game 7 is needed |\n| Matchup | American League Championship Series winner vs. National League Championship Series winner |\n| Format | Best-of-seven series, first to 4 wins |\n| U.S. coverage | FOX, FOX Deportes, FOX One |\n| Start times | Not announced |\n| Specific ballparks | To be confirmed after the participating teams are determined |\n\nIn this format, the first team to win 4 games is the champion. It does not mean all seven games must be played. Once the champion is decided, the remaining games are not played.\n\n## Schedule from Game 1 through Game 7\n\nAll scheduled game dates are U.S. dates. Start times for the individual games have not yet been announced. Copying the dates below directly onto a Korean calendar could overlook the time difference.\n\n| Game | Scheduled U.S. date | Whether it will be played |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Game 1 | Friday, October 23, 2026 | Scheduled |\n| Game 2 | Saturday, October 24, 2026 | Scheduled |\n| Game 3 | Monday, October 26, 2026 | Scheduled |\n| Game 4 | Tuesday, October 27, 2026 | Scheduled |\n| Game 5 | Wednesday, October 28, 2026 | Only if necessary |\n| Game 6 | Friday, October 30, 2026 | Only if necessary |\n| Game 7 | Saturday, October 31, 2026 | Only if necessary |\n\nThe dates follow [MLB’s 2026 postseason schedule](https://www.mlb.com/live-stream-games/postseason/2026-schedule). The schedule has no games on October 25 or 29. If the schedule changes, the dates will need to be checked again.\n\nMLB’s “2026 postseason schedule, results and how to watch” marks conditional games with the following phrase:\n\n\u003e if necessary\n\nThis means a game is played only if needed. It applies to Games 5~7 in [MLB’s schedule guidance](https://www.mlb.com/news/2026-mlb-playoff-and-world-series-schedule). A broadcast listing for one of those dates does not guarantee that the game will take place.\n\n## How are the participating teams and ballparks determined?\n\nThe winners of the two League Championship Series advance to the World Series. The American League Championship Series is abbreviated ALCS. The National League Championship Series is abbreviated NLCS.\n\n“ALCS winner” on a schedule means the American League winner. “NLCS winner” means the National League winner. These labels do not mean a specific team has secured a place.\n\nHome-field advantage goes to the participating team with the better regular-season record. This is the rule in [MLB’s postseason format guidance](https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-playoff-format-faq?lv=true). The specific ballparks need to be confirmed along with the final matchup.\n\n## The difference between FOX, FOX Deportes, and FOX One\n\nFOX and FOX Deportes are TV channels, while FOX One is a streaming service. Despite the similar names, they are not the same type of viewing option. U.S. coverage can be broken down as follows.\n\n| Option | Role | What to check |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| FOX | English-language TV coverage | Local channel listings and your TV package |\n| FOX Deportes | Spanish-language TV coverage | Whether your package includes the channel |\n| FOX One | Live online streaming | Subscription requirements or authentication through a supported TV provider |\n\nThe English- and Spanish-language coverage distinction follows [FOX’s World Series guidance](https://www.fox.com/sports/baseball/mlb/watch-world-series). Even when the game date is the same, access requirements differ by option. Check each service’s official checkout page for pricing. (Verified price: FOX One standalone subscription, 19.99 U.S. dollars per month · Source: fox.com · Checked 2026-10-13)\n\n### Comparing viewing options available in the U.S.\n\nYour options depend on which channels your current TV package includes. Channel availability on live TV streaming services also varies by region. FOX’s [viewing options guide](https://gowatchfox.com/) notes regional restrictions for some services.\n\n| Current situation | Option to consider | What to check |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| TV package includes FOX | That TV channel | World Series programming on game day |\n| Use a live TV streaming service | Local FOX channel included in the package | Whether it offers the live broadcast in your area |\n| Considering a separate streaming subscription | FOX One | Current subscription terms and supported devices |\n| Want Spanish-language coverage | FOX Deportes | Package channel list |\n\nFOXSports.com and the mobile FOX Sports App require authentication. You need to sign in with an eligible TV provider. This requirement is stated in [FOX Sports’ postseason viewing guide](https://www.foxsports.com/stories/mlb/how-watch-2026-mlb-playoffs-tv-channels-streaming-dates).\n\n## How to interpret Korean time and U.S. broadcast information\n\nTo determine the viewing date in Korea, you need to account for the game’s start time and the time difference from the U.S. schedule. ET in MLB guidance means U.S. Eastern Time. It is not always the same as the local time at the host ballpark.\n\nU.S. Eastern Daylight Time will be in effect during the scheduled 2026 games. Korean Standard Time is **13 hours ahead** of U.S. Eastern Time during this period. Daylight saving time ends in the U.S. on November 1, local date. The date is confirmed by the [National Institute of Standards and Technology’s time guidance](https://www.nist.gov/pml/time-and-frequency-division/popular-links/daylight-saving-time-dst).\n\n| Item to check | How to interpret it |\n| --- | --- |\n| Start time announced in ET | Add 13 hours to convert to Korean time during the scheduled games |\n| Evening game in the U.S. | Note that it will be the next day in Korea |\n| Game with no confirmed start time | Do not record a Korean date and time as confirmed |\n| Schedule displayed in Korean time | Do not add the time difference again |\n| U.S. broadcast channel listing | Check availability in Korea separately |\n\nU.S. broadcast rights information alone does not establish availability in Korea. Korean coverage should be checked separately against the domestic rights holder’s official schedule. Even if a service has the same name, its availability can differ by country.\n\n## What to watch for\n\nThe key to following the series is how many wins each team still needs after each game. Each additional win changes what the next game could mean. The points below do not assume any particular results.\n\n- Series wins: Watch which team can reach 4 wins first.\n- Conditional games: After earlier games end, check whether Games 5~7 are still needed.\n- Home games: After the final matchup is announced, check the ballpark for each game.\n- Viewing schedule: Check the date and first-pitch time separately.\n\n## Frequently asked questions\n\n### Will the World Series necessarily continue through October 31?\n\nOctober 31 (United States) is the scheduled date for Game 7 if it is needed. If one team wins 4 games before then, the series ends. The schedule could also change.\n\n### Why are games starting with Game 5 conditional?\n\nOne team could have 4 wins by the end of Game 4. In that case, Game 5 and later games will not be played. Whether Games 6 and 7 are played also depends on the win totals after the preceding games.\n\n### Have game start times been announced?\n\nAs of the reference date, World Series start times have not been announced. Do not assume they will be the same as those of other postseason games. Check whether times have been added to MLB’s game-by-game schedule. (Verified status: Start times for all 2026 World Series Games 1~7 are TBA and have not been announced · Source: mlb.com · Checked 2026-10-13)\n\n### If a game is on FOX, can I watch the same game on FS1?\n\nA FOX listing does not mean the game will also air on FS1. The two are separate channels. Check the channel listing for each World Series game.\n\n### Is an MLB.TV subscription alone enough to watch live in the U.S.?\n\nLive viewing in the U.S. has separate authentication requirements. Do not assume an MLB.TV subscription alone is enough. The requirements are shown in the [MLB.TV postseason information](https://www.mlb.com/live-stream-games/postseason/2026-schedule).\n\n### Should I look for the FOX Sports App on my TV?\n\nFor TVs and connected devices, check the guidance on the transition to FOX One. FOX changed how the app is accessed on those devices starting May 7, 2026. Device-specific guidance is available in the [FOX Sports FOX One FAQ](https://www.foxsports.com/fox-sports-fox-one-faqs).","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2026 World Series is scheduled to begin on \u003cstrong\u003eOctober 23\u003c/strong\u003e in the U.S. U.S. coverage will be on FOX, FOX Deportes, and FOX One.
