Who is singing the national anthem for Game 3 at the 2025 World Series?

The 2025 World Series moves to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Monday, October 27, with the Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays tied after the first two games in Canada.

Game 2 at Rogers Centre turned into a classic pitchers’ duel, ultimately tipping in favor of the Dodgers thanks to a masterful performance by Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The Japanese ace went the distance, tossing a complete game gem, while catcher Will Smith drove in three runs to lead L.A. to a 5-1 victory.

The Blue Jays had opened the series with a commanding 11-4 win in Game 1, highlighted by the first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history, courtesy of Addison Barger.

Dodgers and Blue Jays chase historic titles

The action continues with Game 3 at Dodger Stadium tonight.

Toronto, the American League champions, are chasing their third World Series title, more than 30 years after back-to-back triumphs in 1992 and 1993.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles, the National League winners, are aiming for consecutive championships after defeating the New York Yankees in 2024.

Game 3 national anthem performers

Country singer Brad Paisley will perform “The Star-Sprangled Banner,” the national anthem of the United States before Game 3 gets underway. R&B artist Bebe Rexha did the honors before Game 2 in Toronto.

Because this year’s World Series features an American franchise against a Canadian one, the Canadian anthem will also be sung. Toronto-born singer JP Saxe, best known for his 2019 collaboration with Julia Michaels on “If the World Was Ending,” will belt out “O Canada.” Alessia Cara performed the anthem before Game 2.

Tinashe (United States) and Deborah Cox (Canada) will be on anthem duty before Game 4, with Sofia Carson (United States) and Rufus Wainwright (Canada) taking over ahead of Game 5.
