This was the fifth straight World Series to have games played in a venue in Texas, with Houston co-hosting in 2019, 2021, and 2022, and Arlington hosting in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

[9] The Rangers led the AL at the All-Star Game with six players in Adolis García, Jonah Heim, Josh Jung, Corey Seager, Marcus Semien, and Nathan Eovaldi.

[10] Mid-season injuries to staff-aces Jacob deGrom and Eovaldi and subpar performance in the bullpen led the Rangers to acquire closer Aroldis Chapman, middle reliever Chris Stratton, and starting pitchers Jordan Montgomery and Max Scherzer.

[14] The Rangers qualified for the postseason as the fifth seed wild card entrant in the American League just two years removed from a 102-loss season.

[20] They were led by a young core consisting of Corbin Carroll, Zac Gallen, Gabriel Moreno, Alek Thomas, and Geraldo Perdomo, along with veterans Ketel Marte, Merrill Kelly, Christian Walker, Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Tommy Pham, and Evan Longoria.

In the Wild Card Series, they swept the third-seeded and National League Central division winner Milwaukee Brewers.

[25] Arizona's revamped bullpen of Ryan Thompson, rookie Andrew Saalfrank, setup man Kevin Ginkel, and closer Paul Sewald, had a combined 1.45 ERA in 31 innings of work in the postseason entering the World Series.

[18] Additionally, the 15-year gap between Longoria's first and second World Series appearances from 2008 to 2023 is the longest for a position player in MLB history.

In the top of the fourth, Tommy Pham hit a solo home run, which gave Arizona a lead they would not give up until the bottom of the ninth.

After Thompson walked Heim, Nathaniel Lowe hit a towering fly ball that was caught by Carroll on the warning track.

It was Sewald's first blown save of this postseason in seven opportunities; however, he then struck out Carter and Austin Hedges to send the game to extra innings.

[46] Arizona threatened to score first in the second inning, but Christian Walker was thrown out at home plate by Adolis García.

In the third inning, Marcus Semien hit an RBI single for Texas, followed by a two-run home run by Corey Seager, giving the Rangers a 3–0 lead.

Scherzer exited the game in the middle of the fourth inning with back tightness; Jon Gray entered in relief.

Ketel Marte extended his post-season record hitting streak to 19 straight games with a single in the sixth inning.

Emmanuel Rivera doubled to lead off the eighth inning and later put the Diamondbacks on the board with an RBI single by Geraldo Perdomo, cutting their deficit to 3–1, but Aroldis Chapman forced Marte, representing the potential tying run at the plate, to ground into an inning-ending double play.

José Leclerc came in to pitch a scoreless ninth inning for the save, giving the Rangers a 2–1 series lead.

[50] Arizona State University alumnus and former Masters Champion Jon Rahm threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

Leody Taveras drew a walk and Travis Jankowski hit a single, followed by a two-RBI triple by Marcus Semien.

[56] Tyler Moldovan, an officer in the Phoenix Police Department who was injured on duty, threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

In the top of the eighth, Kevin Ginkel escaped the one-out bases-loaded jam to end the Rangers threat of another scoring opportunity.

With the Texas Rangers victory, only five teams had never won a World Series before: the San Diego Padres, Milwaukee Brewers, Seattle Mariners, Colorado Rockies, and Tampa Bay Rays.

Play-by-play announcer Joe Davis called the event with Baseball Hall of Famer John Smoltz as color analyst, and Ken Rosenthal and Tom Verducci as field reporters.

Kevin Burkhardt hosted the pregame and postgame shows, joined by analysts Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, and David Ortiz.

[63] Fox Deportes aired the Spanish language telecast, with play-by-play announcer Adrian Garcia Marquez, analyst Edgar Gonzalez, and reporters Carlos Alvarez and Jaime Motta.

Jon Sciambi called the network's play-by-play of the event for the first time (taking over from Dan Shulman),[72] with Jessica Mendoza and Eduardo Pérez as color analysts and Buster Olney as a field reporter.

[73] TUDN Radio broadcast the series in Spanish, with an announcing crew including Jesus Acosta, Alberto Ferreiro, Jose Napoles, and Luís Quiñones.

In Dallas, KRLD-FM and KFLC aired the games in English and Spanish respectively, while KMVP-FM and KHOV-FM did the same in Phoenix.

This sponsorship included logo branding in-stadium and on official digital properties on the field, as well as commercial inventory during Fox's telecasts of the games.
