The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees will meet up in the World Series, starting with Game 1 on Friday (8:08 p.m. ET on FOX).
This will be the 12th time these iconic franchises will battle for a championship, but the first time since 1981.
Here is the lowdown on Game 1, including how to watch, potential lineups and more.
How can I watch the World Series?

Who will start Game 1?
The Yankees will start reigning AL Cy Young winner Gerrit Cole. For the Dodgers, Walker Buehler was expected to start Game 7 of the NLCS if that had occurred, but after the long break, the Dodgers reset their rotation, announcing that Jack Flaherty will start Game 1, followed by Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game 2.

Who will be in the lineup for Game 1?
Neither team has announced its starting lineup, so these are projections based on how Yankees manager Aaron Boone and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts have filled out their cards in recent games. Also, Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman has been in and out of the lineup with an ankle injury, so we'll have to keep an eye on that. This will be updated when things become official.
