Team USA\u2019s dramatic victory over the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic<\/a> (WBC) on Sunday night smashed viewership records, FOX Sports said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The game drew 7,369,000 viewers on FS1 and FOX Deportes, becoming the most-watched WBC telecast ever on any network. The semifinal matchup went head-to-head against the Academy Awards, which drew 17.9 million viewers but was down 9% from 2025 and drew the fewest number of viewers since 2022.<\/p>\n

The high-stakes game between the U.S. and the Dominican Republic went down to the wire, as Roman Anthony and Gunnar Henderson powered the team to a win. The game also ended on a controversial strike three call that appeared to be out of the zone.<\/p>\n

Regardless, FOX Sports said the FS1 telecast<\/a> itself drew 6,864,000 viewers. It was FS1\u2019s most-watched telecast since 2019 and ninth all time. FOX Sports said the game was the most-watched sports event of the weekend.<\/p>\n
