Soccer Viewership: SEP 25 - OCT 1

The US Open Cup tops the table this week. Messi didn't play but his presence likely drove numbers up. Even still, nice number for a domestic event not run by Soccer United Marketing and MLS.

Highlights/Lowlights:

• Thank you to Robert Seidman for posting daily Nielsen reports. I've been using them for about three weeks now and it gives me a lot more granularity. It's why my lists are getting longer, which is great!

• Speaking of granularity, I finally see a Ronaldo Saudi League match. 16k on FS2.

• Club America continues to keep Liga MX afloat in regard to TV viewership. Both Univision and TUDN are down double digits YOY. A massive drop. I still believe the Leagues Cup disrupted the normal flow of the league. Also, the Messi circus.

• The Premier League is flat YOY on NBC and slightly up on USA Network.

• Welcome to Wrexham interest remains strong on FX.
