The Cubs 5-0 victory over the Dodgers was watched by a large television audience on Saturday night.

The numbers are in and the ratings were a 6.3/12 overnight for the NLCS Game 6 in which the Cubs clinched a World Series berth for the first time since 1945. Other ratings on Saturday included Alabama-Texas A&M: 5.4, Ohio State-Penn State: 4.2, and Wisconsin-Iowa: 2.0.

It was the #1 event of the day, #1 network in prime, #1 game of the postseason and the #1 event ever on Fox Sports One.

It was also the most watched league championship game since 2010.
