A World Series run made the Blue Jays the third most searched sports team in the world by 2025 👀 (HT @boardroom, @Google)
They also happened to be the third most searched sports team, not just in baseball, but in baseball as well all of sports. That includes football, soccer, cricket and any other sport. Only two teams in the world, Paris Saint-Germain FC and SL Benfica, had more searches than the Blue Jays.
PSG received the most searches, largely thanks to winning their first Champions League title in their history, while Benfica hired José Mourinho, one of the most famous managers of the 21st century.
While no other Canadian-based franchise ranked in the top 10 of Google searches, a Canadian led the eighth most searched team to an NBA championship. Toronto’s own Shai Gilgeous-Alexander not only won the NBA’s Most Valuable Player in 2024-2025, but also carried the Thunder to its first championship in franchise history. In the finals they defeated former Toronto Raptors power forward Pascal Siakam and his Indiana Pacers.
The other four teams belong to the Indian Premier League, India’s top cricket league: those teams are the Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals, Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants, in fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh places respectively.
Let’s hope the Blue Jays can put together such a successful season.
