2022 World Series schedule: Astros-Phillies dates, game times, odds, TV channel, Fall Classic live stream

The 2022 World Series matchup is set: It will be the Houston Astros vs. the Philadelphia Phillies in the Fall Classic starting this weekend. The Astros were the No. 1 seed in their side of the bracket and steamrolled their way to the American League pennant. Houston is a perfect 7-0 to start the playoffs and capped off an ALCS sweep of the Yankees on Sunday night. They will host Games 1 and 2 of the World Series on Friday and Saturday at Minute Maid Park.

The last team the Astros lost against? That would be the Phillies, who clinched a playoff spot in Houston on Oct. 3. They now have ambitions of celebrating in Houston again after a magical run that has seen them capture their first National League pennant since 2009. The sixth-seeded Phillies were the final team in the NL bracket in these expanded playoffs, but are 9-2 in the postseason and have knocked out the NL Central champion Cardinals, the NL East champion Braves and the upstart Padres. Bryce Harper hit the biggest home run of his life Sunday, launching a two-run blast in the eighth inning to give the Phillies an NLCS Game 5 win over San Diego.

It's been an exciting October so far, but fans are going to have to wait four baseball-less days until the World Series gets going. Both teams will be well-rested by the time the fist pitch of the Fall Classic is thrown Friday night.

Game times were announced Monday, and below you can find the complete World Series schedule, TV broadcast information and odds (the Astros enter as pretty substantial favorites).
