Why You Can Trust CNET How to watch World Series Game 7 between the Astros and Nationals live without cable
You don't need a cable subscription to stream the final game of the Fall Classic tonight on Fox.
Washington Nationals left fielder Juan Soto is hoping to help carry his team to a title in Game 7.
Game Seven. Those are two of the best words a sports fan could hear. Wednesday night, baseball fans will be the lucky recipients of such a gift with the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals set to play the final game of the 2019 MLB season.
After the Nats jumped out to a 2-0 lead heading back to the nation's capital, the Astros rallied off three straight on the road to bring a 3-2 lead back to Houston for Game 6. Unfortunately for them, ace pitcher Stephen Strasburg continues to excel in the World Series (while Justin Verlander continues to struggle) and not even a controversial call on Trea Turner could stop the Nats from forcing a decisive final game.
One way or another, the 2019 baseball season is set to end tonight. First pitch for Game 7 is set for 8:07 p.m. ET (7:07 p.m. CT) on Fox with Max Scherzer set to take the hill for the visiting Nationals and Zack Greinke on tap for the hometown 'Stros.

MLB.TV and MLB At Bat
MLB.TV and the MLB At Bat app are great for watching out-of-market baseball games during the regular season, but they're less useful for tuning into baseball's postseason because you must be a subscriber to a participating pay TV provider. The list is short and can be found here. If you're a subscriber to one of the pay TV providers listed, the Postseason Package will run you $25. To sweeten the deal, the Postseason Package includes spring training games next year.
Over-the-air antenna
You can watch the World Series on Fox with an over-the-air digital antenna. We have suggestions for the best indoor antennas that start as low as $10.
