(Reuters)

Game 5 of the 2014 World Series takes place on Sunday night, as the San Francisco Giants and the Kansas City Royals go to battle for the third straight night at AT&T Park in California.

Today's massive game will go a long way to determining who wins the World Series this year and all the action will get started from 8.07 p.m. EST. The game will be broadcast live on the Fox network, but will also be available to watch online through live stream - free for subscribers - via the link provided below.

Tonight will be the final game of the season at AT&T Park, and will see a full rested Madison Bumgarner take to the mound, facing off against the Kansas City Royals and James Shields.

The decision to use Bumgarner for Game 5, will mean Jake Peavy and Tim Hudson will start the final two games in Kansas City if the series goes all the way to a Game 7. If that happens them Bumgarner would be available in relief in the climax if needed.

Manager Bruce Bochy has said, "I don't think at this point we should push Madison either. Then you're going to ask him to go on another three days. So we're keeping things in order because of how well all of our starters have thrown."

Reports had claimed that Bumgarner was demanding to start Game 4, but he denied those rumors: "It sounds like I'm trying to run the team, which I'm certainly not. That's no good that that got out there somehow. It doesn't make any sense to me why that would happen. I never said anything to anyone about anything. We knew that was an option, and I'm prepared where I would be ready for Game 4 or 5 or any of them. That's just ridiculous."

But the Giants ace will be out on the mound ready to go in Game 5 tonight. The action will start at 8.07 p.m. EST and can be watched online by clicking here.
