Busy week with Liga MX, PL, and the UEFA Champions League all on broadcast TV.
Highlights/Lowlights
• Liga MX's Saturday night games both top 800k, Chivas v UNAM leading the way.
• PL's Newcastle v Liverpool dipped below 900k after a mini-run of games over 1m.
• USWNT returned to "regular tv" and pulled 373k for the She Believes Cup vs. Japan. I do not know the streaming number. Both pre and post-game coverage did pretty good.
• CBS's coverage of the UEFA Champions League returned to decent numbers. A little surprising Dortmund v Chelsea didn't do better.
• MLS returns this weekend on FOX.
