When Toronto Blue Jays clinched a 4-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners on October 20, 2025 at the Rogers Centre, the Blue Jays vs. Mariners ALCS Game 7 became an instant classic and booked Toronto’s first World Series trip since 1993.
The drama unfolded in the bottom of the seventh when George Springer crushed a three‑run home run to pull the Jays ahead for good. The game was televised nationwide on Sportsnet, and highlights flooded YouTube within minutes. While the live broadcast is over, fans still wonder where they can catch a replay or, if the game were still pending, how to watch it in real time.
Game Recap and What It Means
Toronto entered Game 7 with a 94‑68 regular‑season record, while Seattle finished 90‑72 and had been a road‑trip nightmare, posting a 39‑42 away record. Starting pitcher Shane Bieber struggled early, and reliever Louis Varin was tagged for a solo home run by Cal Raleigh that made it 3‑1.
Boston‑born rookie Bryan Woo steadied Seattle’s bullpen until the seventh inning when a full‑count walk to Addison Barger and a single by Isiah Kiner‑Falefa set the stage for Springer’s clutch blast.
"We knew we had to keep fighting," Springer said in the post‑game interview. "Every inning felt like a do‑or‑die situation, and the crowd gave us the energy we needed."
Senior MLB analyst John Anderson of The Athletic noted, "This series proved the Jays’ depth. Their bench players delivered when the starters faltered, and that’s the hallmark of a championship team."
How to Watch the Game Live (If It Were Still On)
For those who missed the live action or for future Game 7 scenarios, here’s a quick guide to catching the broadcast in real time:
- Canada: Sportsnet aired the game on its primary channel (Sportsnet) and the streaming app Sportsnet Now. A basic cable subscription or a Sportsnet Now monthly pass works.
- United States: The game was available on MLB.TV as part of the "All‑Play" package, which streams every out‑of‑market game without blackout restrictions.
- International viewers: Services like fuboTV, YouTube TV, and ESPN+ carried Sportsnet as part of their MLB add‑on bundles.
- Free streaming: MLB occasionally offers a “Free Game” promotion on its website and app for verified users. That window closed after the live broadcast, but a replay is always up on the MLB.com highlights page.
- Mobile: The MLB At Bat app allowed live streaming on smartphones, while the Sportsnet app gave Canadian fans a seamless experience.
All of these options required either a subscription or a one‑time purchase. No truly free, legal stream existed for the live game.
Radio Broadcasts and Other Ways to Follow
If you prefer audio, the game was simulcast on SiriusXM MLB Radio and local stations TSN Radio 1050 in Toronto and KNBX 1150 in Seattle. Both streams are accessible via their respective apps, which often offer a free trial period.
For overseas fans, the radio feed was available through the MLB International website, which also provides a live text commentary for those on a limited data plan.
Key Performances and Stats You Might Have Missed
The box score reads like a roller‑coaster:
- George Springer: 1 HR, 3 RBI, .455 batting average for the game.
- Shane Bieber: 4 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 5 BB.
- Louis Varin: 2 IP, 1 HR (Raleigh), 2 RBI allowed.
- Cal Raleigh: 1 HR, 2 RBI, 2‑for‑5.
- Addison Barger: drew the pivotal walk that sparked the seventh‑inning rally.
Toronto’s bullpen combined for 6 innings of shutout baseball after the go‑ahead run, a feat that surprised many analysts who had pegged Seattle’s relievers as the stronger side.
What This Win Means for Toronto and the World Series
By beating Seattle, the Blue Jays snapped a 32‑year World Series drought. The franchise will now face either the Los Angeles Dodgers or the Houston Astros in the Fall Classic, setting up a North‑American showdown that could boost MLB’s TV ratings beyond the 2024 peak.
Mayor John Tory already hinted at a city‑wide celebration, and local businesses are preparing “Blue Jays Day” events. Economically, the win is expected to generate an estimated $12 million in tourism revenue for Toronto during the World Series weekend.
