How many games did the 2025 World Series last? The 2025 World Series lasted seven games.

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in a full best-of-seven series, winning the deciding Game 7 on November 1, 2025. Los Angeles prevailed 5–4 in 11 innings, earning its second consecutive championship and ninth World Series title overall.

The series swung back and forth. Toronto won Game 1, while Yoshinobu Yamamoto answered with a complete-game victory in Game 2. The Dodgers then won an 18-inning Game 3, Toronto took Games 4 and 5, and Los Angeles forced the finale by winning Game 6 in Toronto.

A common mistake is treating “seven games” as seven innings or assuming a World Series ends as soon as one team takes a 3–0 or 3–1 lead. The World Series uses a best-of-seven format, so the maximum length is seven games; the 2025 matchup reached that limit.
