Blue Jays supporters faced a nail-biting Game 7 of the World Series, eagerly following the intense finale on Saturday night. Rogers reported a substantial viewership of 10.9 million Canadians for their broadcast of the game, where the Blue Jays narrowly lost 5-4 in extra innings to the Los Angeles Dodgers, missing out on the coveted World Series title. This remarkable audience turnout across Sportsnet, Sportsnet+, and Citytv marked a record-breaking achievement as the most-watched Rogers broadcast to date.
The showdown between Toronto and L.A. captivated an average of 7.5 million viewers throughout the seven-game series, with Rogers noting that each World Series broadcast became the most-watched Blue Jays game ever. Despite the Blue Jays securing victories in Game 1, Game 4, and Game 5 of the World Series, they ultimately succumbed to a 4-3 series defeat against Los Angeles.
Rogers Communications Inc. assumed full ownership of the Blue Jays in 2004 after originally acquiring a majority stake in the franchise in 2000. The company also possesses the Rogers Centre stadium, formerly known as SkyDome.
The recently concluded World Series marked Toronto’s third appearance in Major League Baseball’s annual championship. Following their back-to-back World Series triumphs in 1992 and 1993, the Blue Jays made a long-awaited return to the Fall Classic this year. The Dodgers clinched their ninth World Series title against the Blue Jays, solidifying their status as repeat champions, having previously won the title in 2024 and the COVID-abbreviated 2020 season.
The Dodgers commemorated their 2025 World Series victory with a championship parade in Los Angeles, showcasing their dominance in Major League Baseball once again.
