Metro Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 ^^ Yes the 2016 and 2017 MLS Cup finals reached 1 000 000 viewers I believe. Other than that, perhaps the 1984 Olympics QF between Canada and Brazil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same year, the second leg of TFC/Impact got 1.4 million in both languages. 519k watched the second leg in French. So, Canada men WCQ French tv numbers haven't reached the same levels yet. Previous to this WCQ, likely only the CanadavFrance 86 World Cup match went over 1 million for the men. The women have had about 10 matches with over 1 million with London semis vs the US being the highest at nearly 4 million. Tokyo Gold Medal match peaked at over 4 million but average was 2.3 million. narduch and Free kick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, FS1 is the third-largest English-language sports network in the U.S., behind ESPN and ESPN2.

But even so this is a smaller per-capita number than our early-Ocho matches vs ES, Mex, and Jam, that were on Sportsnet 1 and 360, secondary channels many people don't have as part of their cable packages.

rkomar Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Maybe if this was the USA's first world cup in 36 years, they would be more fired up about it like we are. For them, it's more newsworthy when they don't make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lansdude Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I think the demographic differences between the countries explain most of it. Their large Mexican population is more into El Tri and Liga MX, the last few generations of immigrants here don't have a team in the region but Canada was too mediocre draw their attention. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccer as a whole is extremely popular in the U.S., and shouldn't be solely judged on what the USMNT drew for a World Cup qualifier on a channel nobody watches. rkomar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I am a geek about these things, your suggestion made me curious because I thought I recently read somewhere that at least in terms of distribution, ESPN and FS1 were somewhat even. According to this article from 2020, ESPN beats FS1 by about 3 million households. https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2020/01/30/Media/Cable-distribution.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past her prime with 30 yrs+ working and not fully steeped in football. So, she is prone to lots of errors including the Dobson disease of misidentifying black players. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I don't know if these numbers include streaming, but I'd like to see a streaming number broken out. It would have to be much higher than for a usual prime time or weekend afternoon event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
