Cable Soccer Viewership, May 4-10

Liga MX hits a big number on TUDN with Pachuca v Chivas. It pulled a 0.38 rating (862k viewers) which is the top cable match of the year (the Premier League on NBCSN has spots 2-4).

Major League Soccer's expansion team Austin helped FS1 get 346k on Sunday which is good for the network. It makes it the most viewed MLS game on FS1 since the beginning of last year. 8th overall behind 5 USWNT games and 2 Bundesliga games (on FS1). It's a good number for an expansion side that felt more like a Nashville than an Atlanta out of the gate. We'll see if it holds.

Making a surprise appearance this week was Concacaf Futsal on TUDN (62k). Liga MX women also jumped up to 81k this week.

It was a big weekend for soccer on traditional broadcast TV. 

1. The big winner on the weekend was the NWSL. Their Challenge Cup game between Portland and Gotham had a 0.35 rating (534k) on CBS which edged out all three MLS games on ABC and FOX (English language: 0.34, 0.32, 0.30).

2. The Premier League match between Chelsea and Manchester City "won" the weekend with 970k viewers and a 0.57 rating on NBC. 

3. MLS's LA v LA marque matchup pulled 483k on FOX and 206k on Fox Deportes. It's the most viewership for a MLS game on Fox Deportes since the beginning of last year, but 23rd most viewed soccer match. MLS only has 4 games register a rating in this time frame. The other 65 are Liga MX and the FIFA Club World Cup.
