- Marquee World Series Matchup: For the 12th time (and for the first time 1981), the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees square off in the Fall Classic to determine the champion in Major League Baseball.
- Star-Studded Championship Series ⭐: The 2024 World Series presented by Capital One features several stars across both teams, including Mookie Betts, Juan Soto, Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, and many more!
- The Top Team in the Booth: FOX's lead MLB commentary crew of Joe Davis (play-by-play) and John Smoltz (analyst) provide commentary for the Yankees-Dodgers World Series, with reporters Ken Rosenthal and Tom Verducci.
- On-Site Studio Coverage: FOX to provide pregame and postgame coverage for every World Series game, with a robust studio lineup on-site at Dodger Stadium & Yankee Stadium, featuring host Kevin Burkhardt, Hall of Famers David Ortiz and Derek Jeter, and World Series Champion Alex Rodriguez.
- A Primetime Spectacle: Every Yankees-Dodgers World Series game is slated for 8:00 PM (ET) start times, meaning this will be the crown jewel on the primetime schedule during every single game night.
Following the completion of both League Championship Series, Major League Baseball has the dream matchup in the 2024 World Series presented by Capital One. Giancarlo Stanton and the American League champions New York Yankees take on Shohei Ohtani and the National League champions Los Angeles Dodgers in the best-of-seven series to determine baseball's champion for the 2024 season. Both Yankees and Dodgers finished first in their respective leagues in terms of seeding (#1 seed). The Dodgers, however, have home-field advantage in the Fall Classic due to finishing the regular season with an impressive 98-64 record.
The Yankees bested the Cleveland Guardians in five games in the American League Championship Series to capture the franchise's 41st American League pennant, thanks to Juan Soto's extra-inning heroics in the 10th inning of that game. The Yankees make their first World Series appearance since 2009! Meanwhile, the Dodgers are back in the World Series for the fourth time in the past eight seasons (2017, 2018, 2020 & 2024) after getting past the New York Mets in six games in the National League Championship Series. The Dodgers qualified for the World Series for the 26th time in franchise history.
In the words of Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani through an interpreter to MLB on FOX reporter Ken Rosenthal following Mets-Dodgers NLDS Game 6, "This is a place that I've dreamt of playing all of my life. To be able to finally come to this stage, be able to play, and hopefully win it is my next goal."
Indeed, two of baseball's marquee franchises will battle it out for a championship 🏆! Stars are plentiful here, including Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Juan Soto and Gerritt Cole.
The 2024 World Series presented by Capital One will start on Friday, October 25 as Aaron Judge and New York Yankees visit Mookie Betts and the Los Angeles Dodgers for Game 1 of the 120th Fall Classic. Coverage begins at 7:00 PM (ET) on FOX with a one-hour pregame program, featuring host Kevin Burkhardt, Hall of Famers Derek Jeter and David Ortiz and World Series Champion Alex Rodriguez.
Then, at 8:00 PM (ET) on FOX, the broadcast team takes over as Joe Davis (play-by-play) and Hall of Famer John Smoltz (analyst) are set to have the Game 1 Yankees-Dodgers call from Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, joined by reporters Tom Verducci and Ken Rosenthal.
Following Friday's night opening game of the World Series, World Series coverage will continue on FOX through at least Tuesday, October 29. If additional games are needed in the World Series, Game 5 will take place on Wednesday, October 30, Game 6 will be on Friday, November 1, and a potential winner-take-all Game 7 is scheduled for Saturday, November 2.
