Dodgers-Blue Jays World Series Game 7 Draws More Than 25 Million Viewers -- WSJ

Dow Jones11-03

By Isabella Simonetti

More than 25 million viewers tuned in to watch the Los Angeles Dodgers defeat the Toronto Blue Jays, the biggest audience for a World Series game in nearly a decade.

The game averaged 25.45 million viewers on Fox, the network said, citing Nielsen and Adobe Analytics data. Toronto, the home market of the Blue Jays, isn't rated by Nielsen, so viewership there isn't reflected in its data.

The Dodgers won the World Series for the second year in a row, in the decisive, 11-inning game that lasted more than four hours.

The data shows that the Blue Jays-Dodgers matchup was the most-watched World Series game since 2017, when the Houston Astros beat the Dodgers in Game 7. That game attracted more than 28 million viewers, Fox said.

The ratings for this year's Game 7 were also up about 10% from the 2019 World Series Game 7 between the Astros and the Washington Nationals.

Fox averaged more than two million viewers during the 2025 regular season, a 9% increase from 2024.

This year has been a critical one for the league's media rights agreements. In February, Major League Baseball and ESPN said that they planned to end their deal after the 2025 season in a dramatic conclusion to a more than three-decade long relationship. Then, both parties made it back to the negotiating table.

The league is in advanced talks with Comcast's NBCUniversal, ESPN and Netflix for new media rights deals, The Wall Street Journal previously reported.
