The 'Fire Baseball' game will be broadcast live for the third time.
On the 31st at 2 PM, SBS Plus will broadcast the 'Special Baseball Live - Fire Fighters VS Yeoncheon Miracle' game.
This match, held at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, will be the third live broadcast of a direct game through SBS Plus. Previously, SBS Plus received enthusiastic praise from viewers by broadcasting matches against Inha University on June 22 and Dong-A University on July 20. Notably, both games ended with victories for the Fire Fighters, creating the formula 'live broadcast = Fire Fighters victory,' which further excited the fans of the Fire Fighters.
With two consecutive hits in terms of viewership and buzz, attention is focused on whether a new record will be set in this third live broadcast. The 'Special Baseball Live - Fire Fighters VS Inha University' aired on June 22 recorded a household peak rating of 1.5% (based on Nielsen Korea's paid broadcasting in the metropolitan area), and the nationwide peak audience exceeded 306,000. Additionally, the 'Special Baseball Live - Fire Fighters VS Dong-A University' broadcast on July 20 also achieved a household peak rating of 1.5%, showcasing remarkable popularity and an overwhelming fandom.
As interest continues to heat up, the third live broadcast opponent, the Yeoncheon Miracle team, is the strongest team in the independent baseball league, having achieved three consecutive championships for the first time. This year, they are not only ranked first in the regular league but also proved their strength by winning the 2025 KBO Dream Cup Independent Baseball Tournament. There is keen interest in whether the Fire Fighters can secure another victory in this match.
The SBS Plus 'Special Baseball Live - Fire Fighters VS Yeoncheon Miracle' will be broadcast on August 31 at 2 PM.
