The World Series is a best-of-seven series, so the maximum number of games is 7. As of 2024, a total of 120 World Series have been contested, meaning the number of games played across all editions varies, but each series can last between 4 and 7 games depending on how quickly a team clinches the title. The latest completed series in 2024 determined the champion in seven games on the schedule you’re referencing, with the Dodgers as the most recent champions in 2024.
