1.1 million average also watched Canada v Argentina on Canadian English & French tv.

Highest ever for a Copa America match but this tourney has had limited showings on Canadian English tv.

It was lower than Canada's Qatar World Cup matches.

Copa America, Euros, scoring well on Fox Sports

The Fox Sports 'summer of soccer' has thus far been a ratings success, with Copa America and the Euro 2024 off to a stronger start than in 2021.
www.sportsmediawatch.com www.sportsmediawatch.com

Shifting to the UEFA Euro 2024, coverage was averaging 1.16 million on the Fox networks through Sunday — up 30% from 2021 on the ESPN networks (887K), with the caveat that Fox sublicensed a handful of matches to the Fubo streaming service, which is not Nielsen rated. Saturday’s Belgium-Romania match drew 1.88 million on FOX, the largest UEFA Euro group stage audience since 2012 and up 31% from Spain-Poland on ABC in 2021 (1.43M). Belgium’s win, which peaked with 2.13 million, surpassed the previous high of 1.8 million for England-Serbia the prior week. On Sunday, Switzerland-Germany averaged 1.81 million on FOX — up 52% from Italy-Wales on ESPN in ’21 (1.19M) — while a competing Hungary-Scotland match on FS1 drew 390,000 (+64%).

Another Clark-Reese matchup sets another viewership high for WNBA

For the second-straight week, a nationally televised matchup of Caitlin Clark's Fever and Angel Reese's Sky delivered the top WNBA audience in 23 years.
www.sportsmediawatch.com www.sportsmediawatch.com

Sunday’s Fever-Sky WNBA regular season game, the third meeting of the season between Indiana’s Caitlin Clark and Chicago’s Angel Reese, averaged 2.30 million viewers on ESPN — surpassing the teams’ meeting on CBS the prior week (2.25M) as the most-watched WNBA game since Memorial Day 2001. Eight of the nine have involved Clark and the Fever, including Friday’s Fever-Dream game on ION — which averaged 1.18 million, the largest WNBA audience ever on the Scripps-owned “netlet” that began airing games last season. The previous high was 1.02 million for Fever-Mystics earlier this month, and the high before that was 742,000 for Fever-Sparks in May.

Clearly the rest of the WNBA is no match to Caitlin Clark but the league is growing. Playoffs and Finals numbers will be intresting to see.

Yeah, the "All Other Games" includes CC adjacent (lead-in) games, too. So even boosts that #. Plus, of course, CBSSN games aren't nielsen rated so aren't in the totals. Had to point out in the past when people would post WNBA avg viewership that CBSSN isn't included, would kill the average. Amazon isn't counted either, which is weird but likely due to small #'s.

There's CC and then there's the WNBA, very different things when it comes to viewership and attendance, etc.. But what gets missed a lot in those discussions in that CC *is* in the WNBA, so her games count, too. Which should be obvious. So the WNBA 'growth' minus CC is minimal, at best. WNBA w/CC, which is reality, definitely growing. Regardless if everything above incremental is due to only one player.

Ratings: Copa America, NASCAR, PGA Tour and more

Copa America continues to deliver big gains over the previous edition in 2021. Plus: weekend ratings for NASCAR, the PGA Tour and more. Copa America still
www.sportsmediawatch.com www.sportsmediawatch.com

Copa America 2024 is averaging 1.09 million viewers on FOX and FS1 through Tuesday’s matches, up 421% from the same point in 2021 (209K) and up 39% from 2016 (784K). Tuesday’s Argentina-Chile match averaged 1.15 million viewers on FS1 — the network’s fourth-largest audience for a soccer match that did not involve the United States or take place during the World Cup. Canada-Peru led in with 749,000.

Shifting to coverage on the Univision networks, Mexico-Jamaica led the opening weekend slate with 2.5 million across Univision and TUDN on Saturday — the most-watched telecast of the year of any kind on Spanish-language television. Argentina-Canada placed second with 1.83 million viewers on Friday, up 26% from the opening match in 2021. The United States-Bolivia match that averaged a tournament-high 3.2 million on FOX also drew 1.5 million on Univision and TUDN.

Biggest moment of the year for this thread starts now. No hockey.


Thursday’s Panama-United States Copa America match averaged 2.47 million viewers on FOX, trailing only the USMNT Copa America opener against Bolivia on Sunday (3.19M) as the most-watched non-World Cup soccer match ever on the network. Panama’s win comfortably outpaced the average for USMNT Copa America matches in 2016, most of which aired on FS1 (1.52M). Opposite the presidential debate Thursday night, Uruguay-Bolivia averaged just 272,000 on FS2. Copa America matches are averaging 1.11 million viewers through Thursday, up more than 400 percent from the comparable point in 2021 (215K) and up 55% from 2016 (712K).

The group stage of the UEFA Euro 2024 averaged 1.05 million viewers on FOX and FS1 — surpassing 2012 (1.00M) as the most-watched group stage on English-language television. (Keep in mind out-of-home viewing was not tracked in Nielsen estimates prior to 2020.) Viewership is up 30% from the same point three years ago, when the tournament aired on the ESPN networks (806K). Group play concluded Wednesday with FOX averaging 1.46 million for Georgia’s upset of Portugal — up 20% from Portugal-France on ESPN in ’21 (1.22M). Belgium-Ukraine averaged 1.05 million on FOX earlier in the day, up 86% from Slovakia-Spain on ESPN in ’21 (564K).

FOX averaged 2.87 million viewers for Spain-Georgia and 2.54 million for England-Slovakia in a UEFA Euro 2024 round of 16 doubleheader Sunday, marking the two largest audiences on record for a Euro round of 16 match. In other round of 16 action, Germany-Denmark averaged 2.20 million on FOX Saturday — up 13% from Italy-Austria on ABC in ’21 (1.95M) — and Switzerland-Italy drew 1.54 million on FS1 (+15%). The first four round of 16 matches averaged 2.31 million, up 27% from the equivalent matches in ’21 (1.81M). The full Euro 2024 is averaging 1.19 million across FOX and FS1 — up 31% from the same point in 2021 (912K) and up 71% from 2016 (697K). Shifting to Copa America, on Friday, FS1 averaged 916,000 for Brazil-Paraguay and 749,000 for Colombia-Costa Rica. Mexico-Ecuador topped the weekend slate with 1.77 million on FOX Sunday, followed by Argentina-Peru on FS1 Saturday at 900,000.

Ratings roundup: Fever-Aces, Euros, racing, baseball

Ratings roundup: Caitlin Clark and the Fever delivered yet another seven-figure audience; Euro 2024 viewership continues to rise.
www.sportsmediawatch.com www.sportsmediawatch.com

Regional Major League Baseball action on FOX averaged 2.47 million viewers Saturday night, up from 1.76 million on the same weekend last year. ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball (Rangers-Orioles) drew 1.22 million, down from a combined 1.42 million for Giants-Dodgers on ESPN and ESPN2 last year. For the second-straight week, Sunday Night Baseball trailed WNBA action on ESPN earlier in the afternoon (with the obvious caveat that both WNBA games featured Caitlin Clark).

Baseball is dead then !!

1.6 million average for Canada vs Chile Copa America match on Saturday night. As good to better than a typical HNIC audience but this was on a long weekend in the summer.

It's also higher than one of Canada's matches in Qatar.

159k of that was on RDS.

Article above said "nearly" 1.4M (so 1.3xxM) which would obviously be the TSN/CTV number.

So can project 1.391M-to-1.399M for the English-lang # and a combined 1.550M-to-1.558M (i.e. 1.6M) for the broken-out numbers.

This number shocks me, they must be getting the casual fan that doesn’t follow. I know a pile of soccer fans and it’s all euro cup
