Viewership

American women’s soccer team’s matches in the Women’s World Cup have seen strong viewership, with an average combined English and Spanish audience of 5,256,000 during the group stage. However, the team faces challenges as its upcoming matches will take place overnight due to finishing second in Group E. If they had won the group, the round of 16 and quarterfinal matches would have been in prime time.

Australia and New Zealand’s time zones, being 14-16 hours ahead of New York and 17-19 hours ahead of Los Angeles, create difficulties for American viewers to watch the games live. Despite this, the matches involving the U.S. that aired in prime time garnered significant viewership, with the July 21 match against Vietnam attracting 6.26 million viewers and the July 26 match against the Netherlands drawing 7.93 million viewers.

Fox’s overall group stage ratings for the Women’s World Cup have increased by 11% compared to four years ago, with an average of 4,345,000 viewers. The Spanish-language viewership on Telemundo has also shown a significant rise of 57% compared to 2019, with an average of 911,000 viewers, and streaming accounted for 40% of the total viewership.

On the other hand, the rest of the Women’s World Cup matches have struggled to maintain audiences due to the time difference. The tournament’s average viewership on Fox and FS1 stands at 610,000, a 37% decrease from 2019. The Spanish-language average across various platforms has also decreased by 30% from four years ago, with an average of 135,000 viewers.

Overall, while American viewers have shown strong support for their women’s soccer team, the time zone challenges have impacted the overall viewership for the Women’s World Cup.
