Soccer Viewership: MAY 10-16

No broadcast TV for soccer last week as Liga MX and the Premier League approach the end of their 2021/22 seasons.

Highlights/Lowlights:

• Liga MX takes the top three spots. The Clausura playoffs wrap up this week. Strong numbers for the league last week. Fans like games that matter, go figure.

• After a really up and down Clausura, TUDN's Liga MX coverage will probably finish statistically flat (they are down 3% right now) from 2021 and '20.

• The Premier League's 2nd to last week of the 2021/22 season saw strong numbers and keeps the league a huge +30% YOY (+15% over 2020)

MLS scores 382k on ESPN. It's easily their best number of the year. It puts their YOY number at -21%, which is much improved over the -40s they were at till last week.

• MLS hasn't pulled a rating on TUDN since April 23. On the year they've only had 4 games with a greater than 0.0 rating on their span-lang partner. The only other span-lang MLS game to pull a rating was April 9th LAG v LAFC match (149k) on FOXD.

• Rare appearance for the Bundesliga this year. The 266k is an "MLS-like" number that ESPN will be happy with for now. The 18-49 was nearly half of all viewers as well.
