Soccer Viewership: JUL 12-18

 Liga MX's Saturday night soccer continues to top my weekly ratings. 

Highlights/Lowlights:

• The Chelsea v Club America exhibition didn't pull quite as much as a Liga MX would on Univision. Still, it landed second this week.

• The MLS big ABC match fell a bit flat (-20%/100k off this year's average on ABC). Neither Atlanta nor Orlando provide anything interesting outside of fans close to MLS.

• Women's EURO is moving along well. They are back up over 160k as far as average viewership. With the knockouts still to come, the tournament may still hit my projection of 200-300k.

• MLS on ESPN hit their 2022 avgs this week but they were virtually non-existent on Span-lang simulcasts. 

YOY Pay-TV
