Episode Details

Spain’s World Cup victory over Argentina shattered U.S. soccer ratings records, drawing over 62 million viewers across North America — the biggest English-language soccer broadcast ever — with Fox reporting a peak of 51 million when Ferran Torres scored the winner. The tournament’s momentum continued even after the U.S. team’s early exit, with every match drawing record crowds. On the Spanish-language side, Telemundo and Peacock pulled in nearly 24 million viewers, making it the most-watched soccer match ever in that language. With stars like Messi and Mbappé dominating global attention and stadiums packed despite high ticket prices, soccer’s surge in popularity is undeniable — and this final’s average viewership was more than double the last two World Cup finals, making it Fox’s most-watched sporting event since the 1984 Super Bowl.
