2025 World Series Draws 32.6M Viewers

The 2025 World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers drew massive international audiences, with Game 1 averaging 32.6 million viewers across the U.S., Canada and Japan — the largest three-country audience for an MLB game since 2016. The series, featuring the first Canadian team in 32 years, is being broadcast in 203 countries by 44 media partners in 16 languages. In the U.S., Games 1 and 2 averaged roughly 12.5–12.6 million viewers across FOX, FOX Deportes, Univision (Game 1), the FOX Sports App and FOX One, one of the decade’s highest two-game openers. Canada set records on Sportsnet with Game 1 averaging 7 million viewers and Game 2 6.6 million (a combined reach of about 15.9 million Canadians), and Game 1 was the most-watched MLB game ever on TVA Sports. In Japan, Game 1 drew 11.8 million viewers on NHK-G, the most-watched World Series game ever on a single Japanese network. The surge was matched by heavy streaming and network demand in Canada — Rogers reported customers used 145,000 TB of data during Games 1–3 (including 65,000 TB during the 18-inning Game 3) and a record 6.8 TB of wireless data at Rogers Centre.
