Yankees and Dodgers Clash in Highly Anticipated World Series Game 1

The 2024 World Series is set to kick off on Friday, October 25, with Game 1 featuring the New York Yankees facing off against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. This highly anticipated matchup marks the 12th time these two iconic teams have met in the World Series, with the Dodgers last appearing in the Fall Classic in 2020 and the Yankees seeking their first championship since 2009.

The game is scheduled to start at 8:08 p.m. ET (5:08 p.m. PT), and it will be broadcast on FOX, FOX Deportes, and ESPN Radio, with additional coverage on Univision in conjunction with FOX Sports and FOX Deportes.

The Dodgers, having secured a better regular-season record (98-64) than the Yankees (94-68), will have home-field advantage for the series. This means Games 1, 2, and potentially Games 6 and 7 will be played at Dodger Stadium, while the Yankees will host Games 3, 4, and a possible Game 5 at Yankee Stadium.

Preparations are underway at Dodger Stadium, with the Yankees already in town and the Dodgers unveiling their special 2024 World Series uniforms. The uniforms feature commemorative patches, and the team has released a video of players posing with the World Series trophy.

Ceremonial activities for Game 1 include a moment of silence and a tribute to the late Dodger legend Fernando Valenzuela, with former World Series MVPs Steve Yeager and Orel Hershiser participating in the ceremonial first pitch. Grammy Award-winning country music star Brad Paisley will perform the National Anthem before the game.

In addition to the on-field action, fans can also experience the game in a unique way through shared reality technology at Cosm in Los Angeles. Tickets for this immersive experience sold out in just seven minutes, highlighting the high anticipation for this series.
