Soccer Viewership: MAY 6 - 12

Liga MX takes the top two spots as the Clausura Quarter-Finals finish up.

Highlights/Lowlights:

• The Premier League match between Arsenal and United was on Peacock as well as Telemundo. No Peacock number was reported which means it wasn't anything... to report.

• The Premier League on NBC is up +6% calendar year, vs. 2023. It is down -5% on USA.

• Liga MX remains down -14% on Univision YOY. With only a few games left, it can not make up the ground. I'll wait till Clausura is over before giving more thoughts on why.

• The NWSL continues its consistent streak on ION. The "pre match" show is benefiting from whatever the lead-in is (Law and Order?). Still, that's a good thing to try and get new fans.

• MLS was back up to 300k due to the Seattle/Portland draw (the two most watched teams). FS1 eeked out a number for "Hell is Real."

• MLS is down -20% from last year on FOX.

Housekeeping note: I don't have the UEFA Champions League numbers from last week. I will include them in my reporting when I see them.

Soccer Viewership: APR 29 - MAY 5

UCL takes the top spot. Edges out the PL.

Highlights/Lowlights:

• I'm missing Bayern vs. Real Madrid from April 30th on CBS and Univision. Best guess, around 1 million combined. I will update when it becomes available.

• Liga MX had its "play-in" round last week on TUDN, not a whole lot of interest there.

• The Premier League is still finishing the season strong.

• NWSL consistent, topped 200k on ION. Their rare CBS game has rain issues.

Soccer Viewership: APR 22 - 28

The Premier League made up a large 64% (6.79m minutes of 10.64m) of all soccer on TV last week.

Highlights/Lowlights:

• The PL is up through Week 17 YOY +7% on NBC

• Liga MX remains down -16% on Univision and -7% on Telemundo

• MLS is still in a TV valley on FOX. MLS has lost -20% of its audience from last year on the network.

• The NWSL holding steady-ish on ION, remaining in the 100s but I'm sensing the numbers slipping a bit.
