Nearly 26 million viewers watched across Fox, Fox Deportes and Fox streaming platforms, according to Nielsen data. Saturday’s broadcast marked the highest-rated Game 7 since 2017, when 28.3 million people watched the Dodgers face the Houston Astros. Fox’s telecast peaked at 31.5 million viewers between 11:30 p.m. and 11:45 p.m. eastern time.
