The MLB spring training season has just begun, but many players will miss the first two weeks of the season to compete for their countries in the World Baseball Classic in Arizona and Florida.
The United States, with a roster of 30 Major League Baseball players, will defend their title in this tournament. There are two countries that stand as the United States’ most formidable competition for a repeat title: the Dominican Republic (2013 champion) and Japan (2009 and 2006 champions).
From March 7-21, the tournament will be in full swing. Fox, FS1, FS2, and Fox Deportes will all broadcast the games. Furthermore, Fox’s Tubi streaming app will air live coverage of three first-round matches. If you want to watch the WBC but don’t have cable, here’s what you need to know.

Please tell me how I can watch the World Baseball Classic.
Live TV streaming services allow you to watch Fox, FS1, FS2, and Fox Deportes, where the WBC will be broadcast. However, not all services carry every local network, so make sure Fox is one of them by clicking on the links below. The three of Team USA’s first four games, as well as both semifinals and the championship game, will all air on FS1, the primary channel for the WBC.
FoxSports.com and the Fox Sports app provide live streaming access to games, but they require a cable, streaming, or satellite login to access. The three games will be available on the ad-supported, free streaming service Tubi.
