It’s do or die time on the North Side.

The Cleveland Indians are on the brink of their first World Series victory in 67 years after a 7-2 Game 4 blowout that silenced the Wrigley faithful for the second straight game. Tonight’s Game 5 will see the Chicago Cubs try to stay alive behind the pitching of Jon Lester, who lost Game 1 of the Series.

WHAT TIME DOES THE CHICAGO CUBS VS. CLEVELAND INDIANS GAME BEGIN?

The Indians and Cubs game starts at 8:00 P.M. Eastern.

HOW DO I LIVE STREAM THE CLEVELAND INDIANS VS. CHICAGO CUBS GAME?

The Cubs/Indians game is being broadcast on FOX. If you have a cable subscription, and (this is important) you are receiving the broadcast in your area, you’re all set: you can live stream the Indians/Cubs game for free via the Fox Sports Go app, available on iTunes, Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Android, and more.

Cordcutters can watch via Sling TV, whose Blue package carries FOX (more on Sling below).

Another option is MLB.TV’s Postseason Package, where you can watch every World Series game for $9.99. While every Cubs/Indians game is available, eligible subscribers must authenticate though a (you guessed it) Participating Pay TV Provider.

And let’s not forget about PlayStation Vue. Subscribers to their ‘Access’ basic cable streaming service have access to FOX.

HOW CAN I GET SLING TV?

This is a terrific time to check out Sling TV. The service’s Blue package, which includes access to USA, TBS, Comedy Central, and FOX Sports 1, normally costs $25 a month, but the company is currently offering subscribers a free one-week trial of the service. Then, from there, you can either download the Sling desktop app (if you’re watching on a desktop or laptop computer), or download the Sling app for iOS/Apple devices, Android, Roku, Microsoft, Nexus player, ZTE or XBox One.
