What is coming up on Fox Sports 1 (FS1) in October 2026?

As we enter October, live coverage of Major League Baseball's postseason will dominate the FS1 schedule.

Between Saturday October 3 and Friday October 9, FS1 will show live coverage of the National League Division Series (NLDS), which pit the San Diego Padres against the Milwaukee Brewers and the Atlanta Braves against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The winners of those series will face off against each other in the National League Championship Series (NLCS), which begins on Sunday October 11, with a potential deciding game seven slated for Monday October 19.

Every game of the NLDS and the NLCS will be broadcast live across FOX and FS1, with FS1 also carrying pre and postgame coverage of the World Series around FOX's live over-the-air telecasts of the Fall Classic. The MLB on FOX team of Kevin Burkhardt, Alex Rodriguez, David Ortiz and Derek Jeter are set to be on-site at baseball's season-deciding series, which will get underway on Friday October 23.

Live NCAA college football continues to be an FS1 Saturday staple. This month's live games include Maryland @ Nebraska on October 3, then Illinois @ Michigan State, Nevada @ UTEP and Hawaii @ Arizona State on October 10. The matchups set to feature on Saturday October 17, 24 and 31 have yet to be determined, but they will include games from the Big Ten and Big 12 conferences that kick off at midday on the east coast, in the afternoon and at night.

October begins with FS1 televising selected games from European soccer's UEFA Nations League. France vs Italy will be live on the channel on Friday October 2, with other key fixtures - some of which will air live on sister station FS2 - set to be shown on delay around the channel's other live sport commitments.

Anchoring the daytime lineup throughout the month are FS1's signature weekday sports debate and analysis studio shows, such as Wake Up Barstool, The Herd with Colin Cowherd, First Things First and The Gronk & Jules Show.

Frequently asked questions

Fubo has a number of plans: Pro, Elite and Elite with Sports Plus, as well as a Latino package consisting of Spanish-language channels at a fraction of the cost. Add-ons are also available, if you wish to add more sports and entertainment to your package.

No, Fubo is a completely different and independent streaming provider to Amazon.

While Fubo has plenty of sports options, it lacks the Warner Bros. Discovery channels, meaning you can't watch TNT, TBS, and TruTV, which are crucial for significant March Madness basketball and Major League Baseball games, and other popular content.

Yes, payments are taken monthly unless you opt for a quarterly payment setup.

Yes, Fubo is available to use on a Fire Stick, as well as a number of other devices, including Roku.

Yes, you can watch Fubo on your television, by installing the app on to your Smart TV or via a web browser that's connected to your TV.

Yes, you can watch up to 10 simultaneous streams from your home location on various devices connected to your home Wi-Fi, and on three additional mobile devices from various locations away from your home.

Prices tend to rise annually, but Fubo does operate a one-year price lock guarantee.

No, Fubo doesn't give refunds for this, but doesn't lock you in to annual contract either.

Fubo could be down due to a number of reasons, such as internet connectivity, app problems or even a service outage. 

Check the Wi-Fi or home broadband you're connected to to see if there's an issue there. You can try updating or reinstalling the app, as well as checking there isn't an electrical outage in the area by testing other equipment or, specifically, other devices or apps that connect to the same internet.

There's a good chance your internet speed isn't fast enough, especially if you are experiencing buffering while streaming. 

Check there's nothing blocking or interfering with the internet hub or router, so the signal isn't being disrupted. 

Optionally, you can lower the picture quality if you are experiencing buffering, which may help it to run smoother.

This could be because the service is geo-restricted, meaning you cannot use it outside of the United States, or the area you are trying to access specific local channels in. 

Using a VPN is a way to circumvent the issue, as Fubo is generally region and country specific.
