Real Madrid vs Chelsea UEFA Champions League match combined total (CBS+Univision) edges out Cruz Azul vs Club America's total (Univision+TUDN) by a hair (3k).
Highlights/Lowlights:
• Club America and Chivas retain their seat at the top of the table by leading all events during a busy soccer week.
• The Champions League returned to CBS to solid numbers driven by "super clubs" Real, Chelsea, City, and Bayern.
• A soft number from City and Leicester on NBC, perhaps all the magic has disappeared from the Foxes and is showing up in TV interest.
• MLS on FOX stays in the low 300s last week. The league did manage to pull a FOX Deportes number for the 1st time this year.
• MLS's 18-49 demo has returned to "normal" now for the last couple of weeks (roughly 40% of viewers). This suggests there is some churn happening on MLS Season Pass, which is normal in the world of streaming.
• English language viewership for the Concacaf Champions League is non-existent. It's possible this is a preview of the Leagues Cup.
