World Series Game 7 Draws Highest U.S., Canada Viewership Since 2017

The 2025 World Series Game 7 between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays drew a record-breaking audience, with nearly 26 million viewers tuning in across Fox Sports platforms in the U.S., marking the highest MLB viewership since 2017. In Canada, the game achieved historic viewership on Rogers Communications' Sportsnet, averaging 10.9 million viewers and peaking at 14 million, making it the most-watched English-language broadcast outside of the 2010 Winter Olympics, with over 18.5 million Canadians watching at some point. The Dodgers secured their second consecutive World Series title in a thrilling 5-4, 11-inning game, overcoming a late deficit with key home runs from Max Muncy, Miguel Rojas, and a decisive go-ahead shot by Will Smith. This World Series was notable as the first to go all seven games since 2019, and the Dodgers became the first team in 25 years to win back-to-back titles, with star players like Shohei Ohtani adding international interest. The overall postseason viewership in Canada was strong, with 23 million tuning in during the series and the seven games being the most-watched in Blue Jays history. These figures reflect the significant national and international appeal of the series and the excitement surrounding the Blue Jays' return to the World Series after more than three decades.
