The 2023 World Series will broadcast on Fox and there are multiple ways to watch, or stream the championship live and on-demand.

Where to Buy Last-Minute Tickets to the 2023 World Series
There’s no shame in watching the World Series from home, but nothing compares to seeing the action in person! Be prepared to spend at least $500 though, and that’s probably on the lower end of the price spectrum.
Arizona, according to Sports Illustrated, tickets to World Series games in Texas cost an average of $1,946 compared to $1,453 for tickets to games in Arizona. Last year, World Series tickets skyrocketed to more than $3,000, the second-highest rate in a decade, per CNBC.
World Series tickets are available at Stubhub, Vivid Seats, Gametime, Ticketmaster and Seat Geek (save $10 off eligible purchases of $250+ with code BILLBOARD10. Valid on first purchases only).
Prices vary depending on the ticketing outlet and the date of the game. The cheapest tickets start at around $300 at Gametime and Stub Hub but prices might be higher for tonight’s game compared to upcoming games in the series.
If the series stretches more than four games, prices could go up even higher.
