Game seven - wikipedia Game seven `` Game 7 '' redirects here. For the song by T.I., see We Want Smoke. A game seven is the final game of a best of seven series. This game can occur in the postseasons for Major League Baseball ( MLB ) ( League Championship Series and World Series ), the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) ( all rounds of the NBA playoffs ), and the National Hockey League ( NHL ) ( all rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffs ). The game is generally played at the site of the team holding the home advantage across the series. The nature of a best - of - seven series requires that the series be tied at three games apiece going into game seven, such that either team can take the series ( advancing further in the playoffs or winning the championship ) by winning the game. Because of this decisive nature, game sevens add an element of drama to their sports. Aside from North American sports leagues, game sevens are also a fixture in many other sports around the world, mostly in baseball, basketball, and ice hockey leagues. Most codes of football do not employ a best - of - seven series ( or any best - of - x series in general ), hence game sevens are not played in those leagues. Some playoff rounds ( such as MLB 's current Division Series ) are played in a best of five format, such that game five has similar qualities to those described above, though the suspense and drama have less time to build in a shorter series. Furthermore, the World Series of 1903, 1919, 1920, and 1921 were played in a best of nine format, though none of the four went to a decisive game nine. The game seven is comparable to a final or to a single game in a single - elimination tournament or to a one - game playoff. The game is equivalent to the Super Bowl game in the National Football League in that the game 's winner is the league 's champion for the season.
