The Nov. 22 game between Manchester United and Arsenal was the most-watched Premier League game in U.S. history, according to the Associated Press.

The game, which aired on NBC Sports, averaged 1.41 million viewers. It beat the previous record of 1.38 million viewers, set on Feb. 5, 2012 for a game on FOX between United and Chelsea.

The November game was also watched by 63,000 unique viewers on the NBC Sports Live Extra app, which NBC said was the fifth-highest total ever, according to the AP. .

No, because NBC shows some NFL games as well and this was the 5th largest viewing online that they have had.

Was this game on NBC or NBCSports?

NFL games are on basic cable for the most part so no need to get on the stream

The online number is what is impressive. NBC shows those dumb Thursday night NFL games and this one had the 5th largest usage of their online streaming.

It probably only means soccer. There is no way soccer was beating NFL games.

If it had the number one viewership it SHOULD correlate to online viewership.

Probably the only place available would be my guess. Any person from Wales here would be streaming that if it wasn't viewable on TV.
