Who is singing the national anthem for Game 1 at the 2025 World Series?

After a dramatic seven game series against Seattle, the Toronto Blue Jays prevailed to set up a World Series matchup against reigning champions, the LA Dodgers. The team from the City of Angels had little trouble in sweeping aside the Milwaukee Brewers (4-0) and go into the series as firm favourites.

The final offers the Dodgers Japanese trio of Ohtani, Sabasaki and Yamamoto a chance to make history in becoming the first team to feature three players from the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’ on a winning team.

Blue Jays fans believe

Blue Jays fans feel their offense is good enough to win the World Series and point to several key factors that have made the team’s offense potent, particularly during their successful 2025 season and postseason run.

The offense is built around star hitters like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer. The anticipated return of a healthy Bo Bichette to the lineup further strengthens the core with his contact hitting skills.

The team demonstrated its scoring capability in the 2025 playoffs, including an impressive 34 runs scored over a four-game series against a division rival.

Game One anthem duty

Pharrell Williams and Voices of Fire will open the 2025 World Series with a special performance prior to Game One at the Rogers Centre (Toronto).

The thirteen-time GRAMMY Award-winning artist Williams will take the field with Bishop Ezekiel Williams’ group Voices of Fire to welcome fans to the biggest stage in baseball.
