The Feb. 11 Super Bowl game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers brought in an average of 123.4 million viewers — the highest number of people watching the same broadcast in the history of television.
112 million of those viewers were tuned into the CBS broadcast — the largest audience ever for a single network. The rest were measured across Paramount+, Nickelodeon, Univision, CBS Sports and NFL digital properties including NFL+. Per Paramount Global, Paramount+ saw record-breaking viewership that made Sunday the most-streamed Super Bowl ever, but exact data regarding streaming views isn’t available.
Before this, the biggest telecast of all time was last year’s Super Bowl game between the Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. It was initially named the third most-watched, ranking behind the 2015 and 2017 Super Bowls which brought in 114.4 million and 113.7 million viewers, respectively. But Nielsen later caught errors in their measurement that raised the tally from 113 million to a record-breaking 115.1 million viewers. Sunday’s game improved on that number by 7%.

That’s what they tell the sponsors, anyway.
Was that this weekend.
I was watching “Patton” instead of the Stupid Bowl.
Watched a few minutes of it and then headed up the trail to bed before 9pm (I’m usually up at about 4:30am for work).
hat’s sad. I found the game pretty unremarkable until the tail end of the 4th quarter with that stupid 49s botched play.
Commercials and half time show were unremarkable as well.
I just found this Super Bowl to be forgettable.
I feel special for having ignored it completely
Bugs and circuses
Sounds like you’re on roughly the same schedule I’m on.
Well, based on how they measure viewership, that’s what the numbers show.
I know many of us on Free Republic resent the NFL for various reasons, but the rest of the world doesn’t share those views.
A lot of conservatives are very will to give them money by watching
Good thing it was a competitive game because halftime sucked ass IMO.
Really? I thought the first half was a well-fought defensive duel!
I mute the commercials and skip the halftime, so I wouldn’t know.
It certainly proved to be one of the most exciting Super Bowls: I’m not sure how a real football fan could find it forgettable.
The overage was all the LGBTQMOUSE+ folks that tuned in to watch all the gayness in the TV commercials.
Off the Bread and Circus's chain that the DS had me on...
The title is a lie.
I’m willing to guess numerous soccer matches have been watched by more people than the Super Bowl.
NFL Football is the #1 shared cultural activity in America. 60% of Americans are engaged in watching NFL Football on a weekly basis. Nearly 80% of these viewers are men 50 and over who make $100k/yr.
The NFL went woke after George Floyd, shoved BLM down everyone's throats and *LOST* viewers for the next two Super Bowls. They're now trying to dig themselves back out of this hole. And while we still have the "END RACISM" endzones and the black national anthem, the NFL seems to be trying to throttle back on the politics and wokeism. It seems to be working.
And now they've got Taylor Swift.
I would guess that more people in India watch Cricket than any football game. Cricket as modified to fit into a two-hour television format is a huge success there.
