The super clubs of the SUPERCLUBS in Real Madrid and Manchester City topped 2m combined viewers on CBS and Univision to top the week.
Highlights/Lowlights:
• Last week was highlighted by the UCL semifinals and the Liga MX playoffs. Club America does its thing in primetime against Atletico, tops 1m (+393k on TUDN)
• Still watching YTD numbers on all soccer leagues because they are all more or less down YOY. This is notable because the NBA and NHL are both seeing strong numbers during the playoffs.
• MLS drops below 100k again on FS1 for its low-wattage Galaxy v San Jose matchup. MLS's last three games on FS1 are averaging 72k. Their Season Pass app is obviously taking some viewership away but my guess is that casual viewership is eroding as well.
• Barcelona got a rare game on ESPN last week but it provided a low 150k number, which is more or less what the club draws on ESPND. I think La Liga could grow an audience on ESPN if they got more time.
• The United Soccer League jumped on the list this week, 60k on ESPN2. Just a hair off MLS on FS1
