Many viewers reported seeing Code 23 and Code 7 errors.
One fan wrote on X, "My Sportsnet app just crashed in the 7th inning of World Series Game 7. This is the most Rogers fucking thing imaginable."
Another added, "Sportsnet, thank you for ruining my World Series experience. Every single customer deserves a refund."
A third commenter said, “Sportsnet+ having an outage during the 7th inning of the world series is beyond inexcusable, it's even worse when it's saying MY network is the issue (it's not). Shameful product.”
"Sportsnet going down during the 7th inning of game seven of the World Series is genuinely insane. For something this expensive made by a company with more money than God you’d think it would work,” wrote another user.
As of writing, the Toronto Blue Jays were clinging to a 4–3 lead in the ninth inning as the World Series approached a dramatic finish. Bo Bichette delivered the game's biggest moment, launching a three-run home run that brought Toronto to the verge of its first championship in 32 years.
