MLB Playoffs: How to Watch the Division Series Today Without Cable

Eight teams remain in the hunt for a Word Series title in Major League Baseball’s postseason. The Texas Rangers and Minnesota Twins advanced out of the Wild Card round in the American League, with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Philadelphia Phillies doing the same in the National League. The best-of-five Division Series start Saturday.

In the AL, the Rangers take on the 101-win Baltimore Orioles in one series, and the Twins face the defending champion Houston Astros. In the NL, the Diamondbacks play the Los Angeles Dodgers in a matchup of NL West teams, while the Phillies face a familiar foe in the Atlanta Braves in a matchup of rivals from the NL East.

The ALDS games will be shown on Fox and FS1, and the NLDS games will be on TBS. You can also watch the NLDS along with the NLCS in the next round on Max. Looking ahead, the 2023 World Series will be shown on Fox.
