LIVE: Watch as Rangers celebrate 1st World Series title

November 2nd, 2023

The celebration that started in Phoenix on Wednesday night continued Friday in Arlington, where the city’s Entertainment District is hosting a victory parade more than 50 years in the making to commemorate the first World Series title in Rangers history.

The parade, which you can watch live on MLB Network and stream here, started on Cowboys Way at Supra Lot A, just south of Globe Life Field, and is free to the public. The route loops around Globe Life Field and Choctaw Stadium in a clockwise fashion for about 1.9 miles, traveling north on AT&T Way and then east on Nolan Ryan Expressway and the connecting East Road to Six Flags. The route continues south on Ballpark Way/Stadium Drive on the east side of Globe Life Field down to Cowboys Way, where it will end near Supra Lot A.

Following the parade, attendees are invited to gather in the Globe Life Field North Plaza and the adjacent Tundra Lot B for a public ceremony featuring remarks from Rangers executives, manager Bruce Bochy and players.

The Rangers defeated the D-backs at Chase Field on Wednesday in Game 5 of the World Series to clinch their first championship. It was the franchise’s 52nd season since it moved from Washington D.C. to North Texas in 1972.

“The Texas Rangers’ World Series victory is a dream five decades in the making,” Arlington Mayor Jim Ross said. “Mayor Tom Vandergriff went to D.C. and convinced the Washington Senators to become the Texas Rangers and move to what, at that time, was a small bedroom community in the middle of the Metroplex. The Rangers have stayed with Arlington for 51 years. We’ve helped them build three stadiums here, the community has supported them, the city councils have supported them and the Rangers have reciprocated year after year with their commitment to the community. This year, they reciprocated with a World Series championship. We want fans to come out to the Entertainment District this Friday and really enjoy the moment, soak it all up and have a great time.”
