How many extra innings are there in baseball? World Series Game 7 between Blue Jays and Dodgers won't end image

The baseball season isn't over yet.

Nine innings weren't enough to decide Game 7 of the 2025 World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers.

The best part of baseball: It could just go on forever.

How many extra innings are there in baseball?

There is no innings limit on a baseball game.

Baseball can be played forever. If no one scored a run, the game would never end.

Usually, someone scores.

As the game goes along, the pitching conceptually gets worse, making it easier to score runs.

Sometimes, one hitter just runs into one once to hit a home run that makes the difference.

But there are no ties (especially not in the World Series), and there are no early endings.

Could MLB step in if the game got to the 25th inning and postpone it until the next day? That might be possible, although it'd be unprecedented.

But otherwise, the game goes until someone has more runs at the end of an inning than the other team. Until then, keep playing ball.
