The Tokyo Series marked the beginning of the 2025 MLB World Tour and became the biggest standalone event in league history. With remarkable attendance, the series witnessed 252,795 fans across six games, while the Fan Fest attracted over 450,000 attendees. The event featured marquee games between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs, generating unprecedented television ratings, averaging over 24 million viewers. This achievement not only outstripped past records but also demonstrated a flourishing excitement around MLB in Japan, highlighting influential players like Shohei Ohtani and the increasing international appeal of the league.
I cannot overstate the demand for tickets, sponsorship opportunities and the level of excitement with bringing Ohtani and the other Japanese players back to Japan, has generated.
The Tokyo Series averaged more than 24 million viewers and is now the most-watched MLB series ever in Japan, eclipsing previous records by significant margins.
