MLB World Series live stream 2022: how to watch every Phillies vs Astros game online from anywhere
The Houston Astros have beaten the Philadelphia Phillies
The 2022 MLB World Series is officially underway, and it's certainly a David vs Goliath affair as the Houston Astros take on the Philadelphia Phillies. Read on as we explain how to watch a 2022 MLB World Series live stream from anywhere - including FREE options in some places.
The final matchup has been set as the Philadelphia Phillies face the Houston Astros in a best-of-seven, winner-take-all 2022 MLB World Series. There were plenty of hard-fought battles along the way, a slew of surprises and some big drama — but now the best of the NL and the best of the AL will battle it out to see who will ultimately be crowned World Series champs.
After a long, hard 6-game series, the Houston Astros have proven they have what it takes. After cruising through earlier rounds without so much as losing a single game, the Phillies were the first team to give the Astros a fight. Philly looked strong throughout, but it was Houston who prevailed to become the 2022 MLB World Series champions.

How to watch the MLB World Series from outside your country
Scroll down for all the ways you can watch the MLB World Series online in a number of countries around the world. But first, you should know that if you're abroad at any point during the series, you probably won't be able to tune in like you normally would at home.
This is because of geo-blocking, a digital restriction that makes certain streaming services accessible in the region they're based in, and nowhere else.
When this is the case, the simplest and most reliable solution is to use a VPN service to change your IP address to a different location. This will generally let you tune in to your home coverage, and means you don't have to trawl the sketchier corners of the internet for an illegal stream.
