Two World Series games have gone 18 innings: game three of the 2018 series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox and game three of the 2025 series between the Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays. The Dodgers ended up winning both contests on walk-off home runs, off the bat of Max Muncy in 2018 and of Freddie Freeman in 2025. The 2018 game is the longest in terms of time, lasting 7 hours 20 minutes; the 2025 game was 6 hours 39 minutes long.
