Astros vs Rangers live streams 2023: How to watch ALCS Game 7 online, start time

It's a straight-up showdown in the Lone Star state! The Astros and the Rangers are tied at three games each in this best-of-seven series, which means it all comes down to tonight's matchup and the deciding game seven. 

After taking an early 2-2 series lead, the Rangers looked like they could have made easy work of the defending champs – but Houston didn't like that idea. On their heels and needing a win, they won the next three games in true Astros fashion, powering through at the plate and keeping the defense rock-solid. 

After a close call on Friday, Houston was able to squeak out another win to put themselves up 3-2. Sunday told a different story, however. After falling behind early, the Rangers rallied hard in the 9th inning to put themselves up for good and ensure a game seven to decide it all.

Read on for all the ways you can watch game 7 of the 2023 MLB ALCS.

How to watch Rangers vs Astros live streams in the US

Finding Rangers vs Astros game 7 live streams online is much easier online than regular season games that are locked behind regional sports networks. Our top pick for how-to-watch MLB Playoffs games online is Sling TV's Blue and Orange pack. Orange gets you ESPN, while Blue gets you FOX (provided you have a local affiliate), FS1 and TBS. This is part of why Sling is the best cable TV alternative.

All of those channels, save for TBS, are on fubo TV. 

The $70 per month YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV and DirecTV Stream all have the above channels as well, but Sling Orange + Blue is only $50. That affordability ensured its spot on our best streaming service list.

One of the best options for watching nationally broadcast MLB action is the Sling TV Blue + Orange package, which costs $50 as getting only one half ($35 per month) will have you losing out on some of the major networks: ESPN, FOX, FOX Sports and TBS. For another $10 per month, you can get the MLB Network tacked on, along with ESPNEWS, NBA TV, the NHL Network, and more. Local FOX and NBC affiliates are included.
