Pregame coverage can see seen on Facebook Live starting 90 minutes before each game with Dodger Insider, SportsNet LA’s Leadoff LA and Access SportsNet Dodgers. Postgame Access SportsNet Dodgers will also be streamed on Facebook Live, as will Dodgers Insider shows during workout days. 

Fox Sports will televise the World Series, and Joe Buck will be calling the play-by-play alongside analyst John Smoltz. They will also be joined by reporters Ken Rosenthal and Tom Verducci. 

The umpires for this World Series will be veteran John Hirschbeck (crew chief), Chris Guccione, Sam Holbrook, Marvin Hudson, Tony Randazzo, Larry Vanover and "Cowboy" Joe West.

At the moment stadium and pregame information is still a bit sparse, so I will update this post when more information is released.

UPDATE: There has been a recent change regarding game start times. Now, Game 3 and all following games will start at  8:20pm (ET) [7:20pm (CT)/5:20pm (PT)]

SOUVENIRS
Here's a quick look at some of the key souvenirs you can find at the stadium. First off, here is what the 2017 World Series program looks like, and to its right is a peek at the official World Series Baseball. BTW, you can see the official World Series patch at the top-right.


And here's the Dodger Stadium 2017 World Series pin, via Chris Creamer at sportslogos.net on twitter. To its right is the Dodger Stadium Game 1 (likely for the entire series) rally towel being given out to all fans.


Also, you can find a 2017 World Series drink cozy (on the top-right in photo below) and a business card holder (on the top-left in the photo below) at the stadium. I'm unsure if this is given out at the gate or found elsewhere at one of those kiosk found throughout the stadium. Pic on the below right via David Young on Twitter.
