TL;DR: The World Baseball Classic is taking place from March 8-21. You can watch for free with a seven-day trial of fuboTV.


The World Baseball Classic is back after a long and painful wait for passionate fans.

If you're looking for the best way to watch all the action from anywhere in the world, we have the key information you need. Don't miss a single swing.

When is the World Baseball Classic 2023?

The World Baseball Classic was originally scheduled to take place in 2021, four years after the previous tournament. This event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and eventually rescheduled for 2023.

The World Baseball Classic 2023 is taking place from March 8-21, with four stadiums hosting fixtures during the tournament: Taichung Intercontinental Baseball Stadium (Taichung, Taiwan), Tokyo Dome (Tokyo, Japan), Chase Field (Phoenix, U.S.), and LoanDepot Park (Miami, U.S.).

Can you livestream the World Baseball Classic for free?

The good news for subscribers is that every World Baseball Classic game will be streamed on the FOX Sports app and FOXSports.com. The even better news is that you can watch the World Baseball Classic for free with a seven-day trial of FuboTV.

What's the catch? FuboTV is only available in the U.S., Canada, and Spain, meaning you'll need to use a VPN to make the most of that free trial if you're not based in these countries. By signing up to a streaming-friendly VPN and connecting to a secure server in a location that supports fuboTV, you can trick the service into thinking you are connecting from an approved location. The process is actually pretty straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:

  1. Sign up to a streaming-friendly VPN

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in the U.S., Canada, or Spain

  4. Sign up for a seven-day free trial of fuboTV

  5. Watch the World Baseball Classic for free on fuboTV

We're sure you can manage that. It's not exactly complicated.

What is the best VPN for fuboTV?

ExpressVPN is the best service for streaming, with strong connection speeds, powerful levels of encryption, a built-in password manager, and fast servers in 94 countries. Subscribers also get apps for every platform and can connect up to five devices simultaneously.
