Update, 3:55 Pm: Game 2 of the 2018 World Series is about to start very soon but the final numbers of last night’s Boston Red Sox’s winning Game 1 certainly show some room for improvement, at least over the past few years.
Scoring a 3.7/17 rating among adults 18-49 and 13.8 million viewers, the almost four hour game on Fox is down 5% in the demo and 8% in total audience from last year’s opener.
However, while that may seem like a mere dip from 2017, it is actual the lowest World Series Game 1 viewership since 2014. That’s when 12.2 million tuned in for the San Francisco Giants 4-3 win over the Kansas City Royals on October 21 of that year.
As expected and as is often the case with live sports, this year’s Game 1 adjusted up almost 9% from the initial fast affiliate 18-49 ratings of earlier today. Fox easily won the night with NBC in...

Sunday night’s Mlb game was not only a big win for the Boston Red Sox. The faceoff between the Red Sox and the New York Yankees, which saw Boston defeat New York in 10 innings, delivered the best Sunday Night Baseball rating in four years for ESPN, according to Nielsen. The telecast drew a 2.2 metered market rating, making it the highest-rated Sunday Night Baseball telecast since the Texas Rangers-Los Angeles Angels’ faceoff on June 22, 2014 (2.4 rating). This excludes the Chicago Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals 2017 Opening Night telecast, held on a Sunday.
The telecast, which saw the Sox score three runs in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game, then beat the Yankees 5-4 in the 10th inning on a three-hop single by Andrew Benintendi, was up 83 percent from last year’s comparable game between the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers (1.2 rating).
