Toronto, ON – As the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays prepare to battle in Game 1 of the 2025 World Series at Rogers Centre tonight, FOX Sports is set to showcase both cutting-edge broadcast technology and bid farewell to a legendary figure behind the scenes.

This year’s Fall Classic will feature an array of production enhancements, including expanded augmented-reality graphics, next-generation UmpCam and Swing Tracker visuals, and extensive aerial drone coverage.

“It’s an incredible end of a long, amazing, historic, and occasionally challenging era for baseball, FOX, and TV in general,” said Mike Davies, SVP, technical and field operations, FOX Sports.

Macheska’s two-decade tenure has significantly shaped how baseball is experienced on television, having had a hand in broadcasting some of the sport’s most iconic moments.

To ensure a fitting send-off, FOX Sports is deploying its most technologically advanced setup yet. This includes 20 operated cameras, enhanced UmpCam and Swing Tracker augmented reality graphics, audio coverage including 52 MLB-effects microphones.

FOX Sports is deploying real-time positional data to visualize strike-zone precision and swing dynamics, further immersing fans in the game. Aerial shots of the Toronto skyline will add to the overall cinematic presentation.

Davies also highlighted the seamless collaboration with their Canadian partners at Rogers Centre and Dome Productions, ensuring a smooth production north of the border.
