Probably Not. But Maybe?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The U.S. win over Bosnia and Herzegovina Wednesday averaged 24.43 million viewers, according to preliminary Nielsen numbers. That number could rise a little in the final ratings, but either way, it\u2019s the biggest English-language TV audience ever for any soccer match in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The 24.43 million viewers includes pre-match coverage, which puts it ahead of the previous record of 22.32 million for the 2015 women\u2019s World Cup final between the U.S. and Japan, also on Fox. For the match only, the 2015 women\u2019s final scored 25.4 million viewers.<\/p>\n<p>Telemundo and Peacock drew an additional 9.1 million viewers for the Spanish-language telecast of the match. The combined total of 33.53 million shatters the previous U.S. record for a soccer match of 26.7 million viewers for both the 2015 women\u2019s final (Fox and Telemundo) and the 2014 men\u2019s final between Germany and Argentina (ABC and Univision).  <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=2951\">Spotify Pulls Streams On a Hit Song Over Alleged Fraud Tied to Kalshi Betting<\/a><\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Telemundo and Peacock set an all-time Spanish-language record for Mexico\u2019s 2-0 victory over Ecuador, averaging 18.9 million viewers \u2014\u00a0with more than half of that (9.7 million) coming from streaming. Fox\u2019s English-language broadcast drew 10.58 million viewers, for a combined total of 29.48 million.<\/p>\n<p>Fox\u2019s viewership Wednesday peaked at 31.88 million viewers from 9:45-10 p.m. ET, as the U.S. held on for a 2-0 win despite playing a man down for the final 25-plus minutes of the match. Forward Folarin Balogun was given a controversial red card in the 64th minute after fouling Bosnia and Herzegovina\u2019s Tarik Muharemovic.<\/p>\n<p>Fox Sports and Telemundo\/Peacock have both enjoyed huge ratings increases over the 2022 World Cup so far. Some increases were expected given that the tournament is being played in North America (Canada, Mexico and the United States are co-hosts), but through the group stage and the first few days of knockout rounds, the audience for both the English- and Spanish-language broadcasts have doubled vs. 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=2949\">Streaming Ratings: \u2018Love Island USA\u2019 Has Its Biggest Premiere Week Ever<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The U.S. men next face Belgium in the round of 16 at 8 p.m. ET\/5 p.m. PT Monday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>July 2, 3:05 p.m.<\/strong> Updated with ratings for the Mexico-Ecuador match.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fox&#039;s telecast of the U.S. men&#039;s 2-0 World Cup win over Bosnia and Herzegovina set an all-time ratings record for soccer in the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2953,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1256,2220,345,1132,1133],"class_list":["post-2954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-fox-sports","tag-telemundo","tag-tv-ratings","tag-world-cup","tag-world-cup-2026"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
