The 2024 World Series showdown between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees begins Friday — a clash between two coasts and two rosters of star-studded players.

The matchup features the titans of the National and American Leagues in 2024, along with Major League Baseball’s most talented players, on two legendary franchises with historical baseball legacies.
This year’s world series is sure to strengthen the East Coast-versus-West Coast rivalry. The Los Angeles Dodgers will face off against the New York Yankees in a best-of-seven battle for the 2024 World Series.
This marks the 12th time that these two teams have gone head-to-head to win it all. The action gets underway tonight (Friday October 25, 2024) at 5:08 p.m. PT/8:08 p.m. ET in Los Angeles. Here’s what you need to know going into the big Major League Baseball (MLB) showdown and how to tune in.
How did we get here?
Although it sounds counterintuitive, the top teams from both the American and National Leagues don’t always make it to the World Series. However, this year, they prevailed.
In the American League, the Yankees first defeated the Kansas City Royals with a 3-1 series win. They then took on the Cleveland Guardians and secured a 4-1 victory.
In the National League, the Dodgers narrowly triumphed over the San Diego Padres in a close 3-2 series. They then defeated the other New York team, the Mets, 4-2 and earned a spot in the championship series.
Who are some players to watch in the 2024 World Series?
Shohei Ohtani’s first year as a boy in blue has been anything but boring. Part of his appeal as a player is his ability to play both offense and defense, but an elbow injury turned him into a designated hitter.
The Dodgers star made the most of it by becoming the first-ever MLB player to score 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single season. This will be his first World Series appearance, so fans are eager to see him rise to the occasion.
Outfielder Aaron Judge was drafted in 2013 and became a Yank in 2016. In his first season, he set the record for the most home runs scored by a rookie in a single season. In 2022, he beat the record once held by Babe Ruth for most home runs hit at Yankee Stadium in a single season.
The Pinstripers have not been in the World Series since 2009, so this will be his first appearance in the championship. He is sure to come in swinging.
There’s no I in team
Beyond Ohtani, the Dodgers’ roster is stacked with great hitters. The 2018 American League MVP Mookie Betts is known for his versatility and consistency. He is able to switch defensive positions with ease and score runs. Left-handed batter Freddie Freeman was the National League MVP in 2020.
It will be the 12th time these teams have met in the World Series, the most of any two teams in the league. It’s also the first appearance in the Fall Classic for two previous MVP winners who are favored to win it again: the Yankees’ Aaron Judge and the Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani.
