Soccer Viewership: AUG 30-SEP 5

*A day later than normal due to the Labor Day holiday*

The Mexican National Team tops a week dominated by a full slate of games on broadcast television.
-----------------

Highlights/Lowlights:

• As a whole, a very busy soccer on TV week.

• Liga MX's Saturday night soccer continues its good run on Univision. 

• Man City vs Aston Villa jumps up over 900k for NBC. A surprisingly good number for a holiday weekend and up against College Football.

• MLS on FOX almost hits 500k. YOY the league is down slightly -5%. The simulcast on FOX Deportes did not finish in the top 150 programs on the day.

• Angel City FC, a NWSL team, held a one-off "Big Event" vs. the Women's Mexican National Team. TUDN carried it and it pulled 91k. On the surface, it seems like a quick money grab. I'd rather the league work ground up, so it's disappointing they go this well-worn route.

• MLS on FS1 continues its freefall, down -19% from last year.
