The Men’s College World Series has arrived. It’s always an exciting time, but this year’s meeting in Omaha is special: Not a single team from last year’s CWS is in this year’s tournament. That hasn’t happened since 1957. Seven conferences are represented in this year’s field, including Cinderella team Murray State Racers, who were the last to punch their ticket to the CWS.
At a Glance: How to Watch the College World Series
- Stream: DirecTV, Fubo, Sling, Hulu + Live TV

How to Watch the College World Series Online
The College World Series is airing primarily on ESPN, with ESPN2 and ABC also taking one game each. If you don’t have cable, the best way to watch the College World Series online is to get a live TV streaming service that carries all three channels. Here are some of our favorite options, including pricing and free trial information:

DirecTV
➤ Pros: Free trial, affordable genre packs, ESPN+ included

The best way to watch the College World Series online is with DirecTV. The service carries ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC in a few of its packages, including the streamlined, budget-friendly MySports package. This plan carries 20+ sports channels in total, as well as ESPN+. The package starts with a five-day free trial and costs $69.99 a month after that.
Fubo
➤ Pros: Huge channel lineup, great local coverage, RSNs, watch on 10 screens
