The Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians meet in a historic 2016 World Series. Here’s how you can watch Game 1 online.

This is not a typo—the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians are in the 2016 World Series. After the Cubs hadn’t won a pennant in 71 years, they defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS to get here. Meanwhile, the Indians are now on the cusp of ending a title drought of their own. Both will have the chance to start making history on Tuesday night as they meet at Progressive Field for Game 1 of the World Series.

For the Cubs, it’ll be Jon Lester on the hill and getting the start. The World Series champion from his stint with the Boston Red Sox is no stranger to pressure, as he showed with dominant performances in the NLCS that helped him earn co-MVP honors. However, what the Cubs really need is for their young bats to stay alive. The likes of Javier Baez, Anthony Rizzo, and Kris Bryant have been phenomenal throughout the postseason. Now they need just one more to end 108 years of pain in Chicago.

As for the Indians, Corey Kluber gets the start at home on Tuesday night in Game 1. Though not as daunting as the Cubs’ drought, Cleveland hasn’t won a World Series since 1948. However, they’ve mowed through the postseason to this point, toppling two AL East giants to get to this point. Now they need the likes of Francisco Lindor and Jose Ramirez to come through on the biggest stage, along with Kluber and the pitching staff, of course.

Game 1 of the 2016 World Series will be broadcast on FOX. Luckily, that means the game will also be live streamed on FOX Sports Go. Watch the game online or through the app simply by logging in with a cable or satellite subscription.
