The Fall Classic is here, meaning that two teams will face off in a best-of-seven playoff series this week to take home the World Series title.

This year, the Arizona Diamondbacks will play against the Texas Rangers in the 2023 World Series, which kicks off Oct. 27 at 8:03 p.m. in Arlington, Texas. All seven games of the series will broadcast live on Fox, but there are plenty of ways to stream the action live online without cable. The best way to stream the World Series 2023 online is on DirecTV Stream, which currently offers a free trial.

This is the first time that the Rangers will compete in the World Series since 2011, and they’ve never won the championship in the franchise’s entire 62-year history. The Diamondbacks, meanwhile, took home the title in 2001 after defeating the Yankees in what is considered one of the best World Series games of all time.
