Baseball season is in full swing! Watch the entire MLB schedule for less on Sling TV.
In a hurry? All the NLCS games will be on either Fox or FS1 — and sometimes on both. The games on Fox alone (also the entire World Series) can be watched with a digital antenna. But it’s probably easier to watch with a live TV streaming service. These are our top picks:
- Fubo: The best streaming service for international sports also provides 130+ well-selected channels. Fubo allows you to try out its service free for 7 days.
- DIRECTV STREAM: Get a great channel lineup with the best selection of RSNs in the industry. A 5-day free trial is now available for DIRECTV STREAM.
- Sling TV: This low-cost service allows you to select just the channel lineup you want. Save 50% on your first month of Sling TV.
If you can’t watch your favorite sports because of your location, get ExpressVPN to access the content you deserve.
Table Of Contents
MLB is divided into two parts: the National League and the American League. Teams from each league mostly play other teams in the same league. At the end of the season, the top team in each league face off in the World Series.
Fans of the National League won’t want to miss to the NLCS. Unlike the series leading to it, it is a full best-of-four 7-game series. All the games will air live through Fox Sports (Fox or FS1).
2022 National League Championship Series Schedule
Six NL teams made it into the playoffs:
- Los Angeles Dodgers (NL West)

- San Diego Padres (NL Wild Card)
- Philadelphia Phillies (NL Wild Card)

Stream the NLCS Without Cable
Fox and FS1 are available from most live TV streaming services. You can take your pick — many offer free trials.
But if you are also interested in the American League Championship Series, you will also want to get TBS, since all those games will air there. As a result, we recommend getting DIRECTV STREAM, Hulu + Live, and Sling TV.
DIRECTV STREAM
DIRECTV STREAM is probably the best streaming service for MLB because it has by far the best selection of RSNs, which are the only way to watch the vast majority of local games through the regular season. It also provides all the playoff games.
You can watch all the playoff games with the Entertainment package with 75+ channels for $74.99/mo. But if you want the RSNs, you need to go up to the Choice plan with 100+ channels for $99.99/mo.
All plans come with unlimited DVR storage and unlimited simultaneous streaming devices. See our DIRECTV STREAM review for more information.
