Los Angeles Dodgers Score Big in World Series Game 3
The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to dominate the 2024 World Series, as they secured another victory in Game 3. With a substantial audience of 13.2 million viewers, the Dodgers’ performance attracted significant attention.
Record-Breaking Ratings
The game’s viewership comes as no surprise, aligning with the high ratings of previous games. Game 3 was only down a few million in viewership compared to Game 2. Notably, this third game was the most-watched in six years, surpassing the audience from the Dodgers and Red Sox matchup of the same round in 2018.
Moreover, the audience peaked around 9 p.m. ET, reaching a high of 14.3 million viewers. Remarkably, this game alone marked a 63% increase in viewership compared to last year’s Game 3.
The Yankees and Dodgers Rekindle Interest
The MLB championship ratings have been declining in recent years, reaching record lows in 2020. This season’s World Series, featuring a highly anticipated matchup between the Yankees and Dodgers, has rekindled interest in baseball. The last time these two storied franchises faced each other was in 1981.
The Manhattan’s Fox network reported that the World Series has averaged 14.4 million viewers across the first three games, despite the general decline in ratings over the past several years. Clearly, the thrilling matchup between these marquee teams and the hypothetical berth of star players has generated buzz and stirred up passion among fans.
The Road Ahead
The Dodgers now have a chance to end the Series in Game 4, potentially clinging to the same viewership level as the first three games. However, if the Yankees extend the series into the fifth game, viewership is expected to surge due to the increased suspense.
Fox will surely celebrate either way, remaining optimistic about the evolving spectacle of the World Series.
