At 3-1 up in the series and a grand slam homer right from the off in Game 5, baseball fans in Atlanta may be just about forgiven for thinking that their 25-year drought may just be over. But Houston responded in some style to swing the momentum of this World Series back in the direction of Texas.

It's been a tipsy topsy seven days, after the Braves scored first blood this time last week. But it's the Astros who were being hotly tipped for glory and showed why with an offensive masterclass on Wednesday and Sunday. This is their third World Series appearance in five attempts and the previous two both went down to the wire (with mixed results) - are we shaping up to see another seven-game ding dong battle?

It's a Fall Classic loaded with fascinating subplots. For starters, there's Dusty Baker's near-30-year quest for a World Series title. He's now led every team he's managed to a division title, though the only previous World Series he managed a team in - the 2002 edition with the Giants - ended in heartbreak.

While this Houston Astros vs Atlanta Braves match-up also pitches Atlanta manager Brian Snitker against his son, Houston's hitting coach Troy.

Houston's rookie Luis Garcia will be on the mound, with Max Fried starting for Atlanta in game 6, so read on for how to watch the Astros vs Braves online and get a 2021 MLB World Series live stream from anywhere.

How to watch MLB World Series from outside your country

Scroll down for all the ways you can watch the Astros vs Braves series online in a number of countries around the world. But first, you should know that if you're abroad right now, you probably won't be able to watch the MLB World Series like you normally would at home.

This is because of geo-blocking, a digital restriction that means certain streaming services are only accessible in the region they're based in.

The simplest and most reliable solution is to use a VPN service to change your IP address to a different location. This will generally let you tune in to your local coverage, just as you would from home, and means you don't have to trawl the sketchier corners of the internet for an illegal stream.
