— ESPN PR (@ESPNPR) June 20, 2025Overall viewership is down a bit this season compared to last, which was already down from a record number in 2023. The 2024 College World Series averaged 1.56 million viewers. The 2023 MCWS set a record with an average of 1.65 million viewers. LSU won the title that year, battering Florida in Game 3 of the Championship Series and setting a CWS ratings record for viewers in the process (3.59 million).
Last year’s title series between Tennessee and Texas A&M averaged the second-most viewers on record (2.82). Game 2 and Game 3 each peaked with over 4 million viewers, and the conclusive Game 3 averaged 3.34 million to make it the second-most watched Game 3 ever.
We’ll see how this year’s championship series fares. LSU certainly draws a crowd, and the Tigers are the favorite in the latest College World Series odds.
