Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays clash in 2025 MLB World Series on ESPN – Baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers face off against the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2025 Major League Baseball World Series live on ESPN, with Game One beginning Saturday October 25.
The juggernaut that is the Los Angeles Dodgers hope to complete the final step in defending their Major League Baseball crown against the Toronto Blue Jays, in the best of seven series.
Game One between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays begins at 10.30am AEDT on Saturday October 25 live on ESPN. Game Two will follow on Sunday at 11am AEDT, with live coverage on ESPN2.
The Los Angeles Dodgers secured their place in another World Series after sweeping the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Championship.
Shohei Ohtani highlighted why he is the biggest baseball star on the planet with his heroics in Game Four of the Milwaukee series.
Three home runs and a masterful pitching display of six scoreless innings and ten strike outs, created one of the greatest individual performances in baseball history.
His star teammate Mookie Betts calls him ‘The Michael Jordan of Baseball’ for a reason.
If Ohtani can recapture any of that Game Four form in the World Series, it will be hard to stop the Dodgers from claiming another MLB crown.
Los Angeles’ pitching quartet of Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow and Shohei Ohtani is irresistible and so far this post-season the four have dissected Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Milwaukee comfortably.
Whilst the Dodgers secured their World Series place in comprehensive fashion, the Toronto Blue Jays outlasted the Seattle Mariners in a thrilling seven-game American League series.
Toronto are back in the World Series for the first time in 30 years.
The Blue Jays have a star of their own in Vladimir Guerrero Jr. His six post-season home runs are a franchise record and he enters the World Series in career best form.
Toronto’s pitchers Kevin Gausman and rookie Trey Yesavage have been immense so far in the playoffs.
It will be the third time the Blue Jays have reached the championship series, and the first since Toronto’s back-to-back World Series triumphs in 1992 and 1993.
The Blue Jays will enjoy home plate advantage for the opening World Series game at the Rogers Centre – just the seventh world series game played outside the US border.
Los Angeles hold the advantage in the all-time head-to-head record between the two, 19-11.
The Superstar laden Dodgers will enter the World Series as heavy favourites to defend their Major League Baseball championship. But history has shown how the weight of expectation can bring the best baseball sides unstuck on the big stage.
The 2025 Major League Baseball World Series will prove fascinating viewing and will be available across the most widely distributed premium sports network in Australia and New Zealand.
Viewers across Disney+, Foxtel, Kayo Sports, Fetch and Sky NZ will enjoy the live action on ESPN from a potential seven game series.
