The World Series - statistics & facts
The MLB World Series is a highly anticipated sporting event in the United States that draws in millions of viewers worldwide. This annual best-of-seven series determines the champion of the MLB, and its history is filled with impressive team and player records, as well as diverse fan opinions. However, public interest in the event seems to be waning in recent years, with the average TV viewership of the World Series in 2023 hitting a low of under 10 million. Viewership in 2024 saw a positive increase, but still fell well short of the audience in years gone by.
