Blue Jays supporters faced a tense finish to Game 7 of the World Series, but remained engaged throughout the thrilling season’s final matchup on Saturday night. Rogers revealed that their broadcast of Game 7, where the Blue Jays narrowly lost 5-4 in extra innings to the Los Angeles Dodgers, captured an average audience of 10.9 million viewers in Canada. This viewership, spanning Sportsnet, Sportsnet+, and Citytv, set a new record as the most-watched Rogers broadcast ever.
The Toronto-L.A. showdown attracted an average of 7.5 million Canadian viewers across the seven games of the series, making each of the World Series broadcasts the most-watched Blue Jays games to date.
Although Toronto ultimately fell short against Los Angeles with a 4-3 series loss, the Blue Jays triumphed in Games 1, 4, and 5 of the World Series. Rogers Communications Inc. assumed full ownership of the Blue Jays in 2004, following their initial acquisition of a majority stake in the franchise in 2000. The company also possesses the Rogers Centre stadium, formerly known as SkyDome.
The completed World Series marked Toronto’s third appearance in Major League Baseball’s annual championship. Despite winning consecutive titles in 1992 and 1993, the Blue Jays had not returned to the Fall Classic until this season. The Dodgers’ victory over the Blue Jays signified their ninth championship win as a franchise. The Los Angeles team secured back-to-back titles, having also emerged victorious in 2024. Additionally, the Dodgers clinched the championship in the abbreviated 2020 season due to COVID-19.
The Dodgers commemorated their 2025 World Series triumph with a celebratory parade in Los Angeles on Monday.
