The Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers play in the 2023 World Series on FOX. The Rangers beat the defending champion Houston Astros in the ALCS in seven games -- with the visiting team winning every game. The Diamondbacks bested the Philadelphia Phillies (last year's World Series losing team) to advance to the World Series for the first time since 2001.

Home field advantage goes to the Rangers in this 2-3-2 format, meaning the first two games are in Arlington, followed by Games 3, 4, and 5 (if necessary) in Phoenix. If necessary, Games 6 and 7 are back in Arlington
