Want A Quick Answer: The Orioles will play out the remainder of the postseason on either Fox or FS1. The most convenient way to watch both Fox and FS1 is with a free trial to DIRECTV STREAM, YouTube TV, or FuboTV. Hulu Live TV also has FS1 and Fox but doesn’t offer a free trial. Sling TV is the most affordable way to watch FS1, but they only offer Fox in about a third of the country.
Read on for more information on watching the Orioles’ next postseason game and their other games throughout the playoffs.
The Orioles Make The Postseason
Orioles magic was in full swing throughout the 2023 season. The Birds have made it to the playoffs with a record of 101-61, their 5th best finish in franchise history. This stellar season has earned the Orioles the number 1 seed for the American League postseason.
They will begin their ALDS series with the Rangers on October 7th. The first two games of this best-of-five series will air on FS1, with Fox and FS1 splitting duties for the remainder of the series.
While Sling’s Blue Plan has FS1 for $40 per month, they won’t have Fox unless you live in Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Detroit, Gainesville, Houston, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New York, Orlando/Daytona/Melbourne, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose, Seattle, Tampa/St. Petersburg, or Washington, DC.
So unless you have a TV antenna that gets Fox, then DIRECTV STREAM, YouTube TV, Hulu Live TV, and FuboTV can provide FS1 and Fox. Read on for more information on watching the Orioles’ next Playoff game Game, or check out our guide on the best streaming services for watching the MLB postseason.
