How to watch the MLB at Field of Dreams Game for free
The best way to watch the MLB at Field of Dreams Game is the free way. With this year’s game airing on FOX, you can tune in without subscribing to a costly TV provider by using an over-the-air (OTA) antenna.
A good antenna usually costs between $20 and $60. But that one-time cost will save you a ton compared to monthly cable TV fees. Plus, antennas can get you local channels that air various sports year-round.
If a FOX station is within adequate range of your home, you’ll have several baseball matchups to watch this season—including MLB playoff games and the World Series.
We recommend the Mohu Leaf 50 because of its 60-mile range and 4K capabilities. But you’ll first want to run your zip code through the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Reception Map Tool to see if you’re near a FOX affiliate.
You can also try your hand at using a live TV streaming service. Some services that carry FOX also offer free trials—like Fubo and YouTube TV. And, who knows? You might like the streaming experience and stick around longer for more sports action.
