The Dodgers recovered from a ninth-inning deficit against the Toronto Blue Jays to claim a 5-4 win in the 11th inning of Game 7.
FOX Sports previously reported a viewership average of 27.3 million on FOX, FOX Deportes or FOX Sports, making Game 7 the network's most-viewed Fall Classic game since Game 7 of the 2017 World Series between the Dodgers and Houston Astros.
Those numbers peaked on FOX with about 33 million viewers around 11:45 p.m. ET on Saturday, according to the network.
The Canadian side of the broadcast meanwhile set a Rogers record as an average audience of 10.9 million tuned in to watch the Blue Jays collapse on Sportsnet.
That total peaked at 14 million in the ninth inning and overall included over 18.5 million Canadians— almost half of the country's total population— tuning in to at least part of the broadcast, according to Sportsnet.
That marked the most-watched English language broadcast to air in Canada since the 2010 Olympics took place in Vancouver, according to MLB.
Japan's NHK-G meanwhile brought in an average of 13.1 million viewers, marking the most-watched World Series game on any Japanese network despite a 9 a.m. start time, per MLB.
The World Series as a whole was watched by a combined audience of 24.3 million viewers from the United States and Canada, marking the largest total from those two countries since 2016, according to MLB.
The Fall Classic was broadcast in 203 countries and 16 languages. The World Series overall brought in the largest global viewership numbers in league history, MLB reported.
