The primetime matchup for game 2 of the National League Championship Series between the Chicago Cubs and the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday night was the most-watched telecast in Fox Sports One history.

The channel has been in business since 2013 and the game was the most viewed ever with 7.291 million views which beat the previous record of 6.368 million views for 2016 NLDS game 4 between the Chicago Cubs and the San Francisco Giants.

For the first time, FS1 has beaten ESPN for a full week in total day, primetime and live event viewership. #baseballfever
