Fall Classic Final Game Attracts Over 50 Million Viewers Across the United States, Canada and Japan Regions.
The nail-biting extended clash that saw the Los Angeles Dodgers defeat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4 averaged a total 51M watchers in the United States, Canadian, and Japan markets. MLB announced this represents the highest-rated Fall Classic Game 7 since the 1991 contest featuring the Twins and Braves.
Broadcast Viewership Breakdown
Last Saturday’s memorable game secured 27.33 million audience members on Fox Sports channels, its Spanish-language channel and their streaming platforms. Per ratings data, it was the second highest-rated broadcast of the previous week.
It additionally is the top-rated World Series matchup after the 2017 final game between the Dodgers and Astros, which averaged over 29 million. This marks a 16% improvement compared to the last finale featuring the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros, which drew 23.19 million viewers.
In the weekly rankings, the sixth game ranked 4th, the fourth game was 7th, Game 5 was eighth, and Game 3 finished in 13th place.
