Soccer Viewership: MAR 7-13

Liga MX and the UEFA Champions League top the table this week.

Highlights/Lowlights:

• Club America continues its reign as the most popular club in the United States.

• PSG and Bayern brought the star power and 1.4m total between CBS and Univision. A reminder that Paramount+ also carries these events live. Impressive number altogether.

• MLS showcased a couple of their new(ish) clubs in Charlotte and Atlanta on FOX. Numbers are more or less in line with previous seasons on the network which has me wondering how many are watching on Apple Season Pass. I can tell by the drop in the 18-49 numbers that there may be somewhere around 20-30k over there.

• Premier League numbers on USA Network remain strong; up 5% YOY to date. No match on broadcast this week.

Liga MX is down -8% on TUDN YOY to date. They had a slow start last Spring but caught up, so it'll be interesting if they can pull that off again. Important to note that Univision games are simulcast on TUDN.

• La Liga, again, is hitting a solid stride. 321k this week on ESPND. As mentioned last week. La Liga is the most watched thing on the network.

• Concacaf Champions League also got going last week. As normal, Eng-lang games do poorly. Span-lang games are a few ticks below Liga MX games on TUDN.
