In the UK, BT Sport broadcast all of the US national telecasts during the MLB Postseason, with the exception of the World Series, where they took coverage from MLB International with commentary from Matt Vasgersian and John Smoltz (who succeeded the long-serving duo of Gary Thorne and Rick Sutcliffe).
There was no MLB International produced coverage of either LCS, as there has been prior to this year when the international feed has first come under the remit of the MLB Network. The whole of the World Series was broadcast on BT Sport 1 - which is significant as this is the one BT Sport channel which is still free to all BT broadband customers. Every game was also available for live streaming via the BT Sport app.
There was one notable broadcasting hitch during Fox's coverage of Game One of the World Series. During the bottom of the fourth inning, Fox suffered a power outage in their broadcasting truck. After the game had been held up for about eight minutes, Fox decided to pick up the MLB International coverage. Vasgersian and Smoltz called the rest of that half inning plus the top of the fifth before the Fox commentary team of Buck, Reynolds and Verducci took over from the bottom of the fifth. They commentated on an inning internationally before Fox resumed their broadcast in the middle of the sixth and the two services could go their separate ways.
