Game 1 of the 2025 2025 MLB World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays is set for Friday, Oct 24 at 7 p.m. CT, airing on Fox and streaming on several platforms
The stage is set for a showdown as the Dodgers and Blue Jays face off in Game 1 of the Fall Classic. The Dodgers, fresh off a championship run last season, return to the series with familiar swagger.
Meanwhile, the Blue Jays, whose last World Series appearance dates back to 1993, arrive hungry and perhaps overdue. From pitching rotations to broadcast windows, the series mechanics are clear. But beneath the logistics lies a contest between legacy and ambition.
We have two words for you: World Series!

On the field, pitching plans are in motion. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has indicated that the starters for the first two games will follow the rotation the club used late in the season, with ace Shohei Ohtani possibly starting Games 3 or 4 when the series shifts to Dodger Stadium.
The format and broadcast clarity matter: for fans, knowing when and how to tune in matters almost as much as which team emerges victorious.
Storylines, Stakes & Historical Context
The Dodgers’ appearance marks their fifth trip to the World Series in eight years—and a chance to claim their third championship in that span. Meanwhile, Clayton Kershaw, the Dodgers veteran and three-time Cy Young winner, is hinting that this may be his final season.
I have no idea what situation we will get to see this guy pitch in.
Mop up, down a pair of runs, up a few runs, whatever it may be, this is his last series of baseball in his career. It has been such an honor to grow up watching Clayton Kershaw pitch.

For the Blue Jays, this comes after a long World Series drought; their last title came in 1993. The moment has lingered in culture, referenced in music and media over the decades.
This isn’t merely a clash of two teams; it’s inevitable story-building. Old guard versus new hope. Champions versus challengers. For viewers, that means every inning carries amplified weight. As the Dodgers fine-tune their rotation and the Blue Jays pursue redemption, the broadcast schedule is the access point—and the narrative plays out through it.
Game 1 is a Big One
When Game 1 drops at 7 p.m. CT, viewers know exactly where to go and what to expect, but the underlying story remains fluid. Will the Dodgers reinforce their dynasty, or will the Blue Jays break through a decades-long barrier? Either way, the date, the time, and the networks are locked in. Now it’s about what happens on the mound and in the linescore. Tune in, and watch the next chapter of baseball unfold.
