Arsenal vs Manchester City takes the top spot with ease and sets an Eng lang record for the league as well.
Highlights/Lowlights
• The Premier League continues to crowd out Liga MX as the top league on US television.
• 2.6m makes it the top match on the year thus far, edging out USMNT v. Mexico on Univision.
• The NWSL on ION continues to surprise me. We are a few weeks on now and the numbers are steady. Not as much interest on ESPN, however (when considering reach).
• MLS drops to a new broadcast low for the league. Season Pass is certainly taking some viewers, but going behind a paywall reduces reach, in general, and they are suffering for it.
