The St. Louis Cardinals were the best team in baseball throughout the 2015 season, and they begin their journey toward the World Series with Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the rival Chicago Cubs.

The Cubs earned an NLDS berth by beating the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NL Wild Card game with a dominating performance from starting pitcher Jake Arrieta. Baseball fever is alive and well in Chicago, a city that hasn't seen a Cubs championship since 1908.

Here's how to watch Cubs-Cardinals.

When: Friday, Oct. 9 at 6:45 p.m. ET
