So it drew more viewers than every CFP game since it's inception except for the 2015 final and last year's final?

And it barely fell behind those.

Combined with Peacock/Telemundo it was just north of 30 million, which is about equal to an NFL wild card playoff game. Beats every other sports finals by a wide margin, including NBA/college football/World series.

Of course it is once every four years and we’re hosting, but still impressive. And it will just get bigger with each win.

It doubles the NBA Finals and World Series viewership numbers per game. Almost triple some CFP games.




The Gold medal hockey game that the MSB loves to use as an example of how Americans care more about hockey than soccer only drew an average of 20.7 million with a peak of 26.

He would have to take a brief break from posting in order to melt.
