Soccer Viewership: SEP 4 - 10
Light International Week. Mexico on UNI takes the top spot, everything else is soft.
Highlights/Lowlights:
• NWSL pops back on the list with, what's become, a customary 400k on CBS. It was also simulcast on Paramount+ (I don't have that number).
• Flying under the radar is Liga MX playing through the break. Both games were light. Liga MX is having a fit in trying to get restarted after the Leagues Cup. Same with MLS.
• Mexico vs Australia did well with 1.4m on UNI + 308k on TUDN.
• Interesting in the USMNT on Telemundo was also soft at 410k. A light 323k watched it on TNT.

Soccer Viewership: AUG 28 - SEP 3
Manchester United and Arsenal took the top spot last week.
Highlights/Lowlights:
• Liga MX and the Premier League fill the table this week, with just La Liga on ESPND being the lone game outside of them.
• The Premier League is slightly up for the start of the season on NBC. In range with the previous two seasons. Games on USA are flat. I don't have enough Peacock info to make a confident call, but I imagine those numbers are inching up.
• Liga MX is taking a -10% hit for July and August YOY, likely due to the Leagues Cup break disrupting the flow.
• Notable that Women's soccer has gone silent post-World Cup. The NWSL has about 4 weeks left in their season. The FA WSL starts up their 23/24 season on October 1.
