During the past week, Liga MX and the English Premier League have been monopolizing the headlines with their record TV ratings as can be evidenced below.

Elsewhere, the English Championship had their best numbers of the season with several of the playoffs producing decent viewing figures. The anticipation is now building for the Championship Playoff Final on May 28 between Hull City and Sheffield Wednesday to see which of these Yorkshire clubs will be promoted to the Premier League next season.

FOX Sports continues to impress with their MLS TV ratings after posting a very respectable number for the Portland Timbers against New York City FC game.

Meanwhile, all eyes will be to see how well MLS does this weekend for its first-ever game on the over-the-air FOX network. How will FOX do? We’ll find out next week.

Here are the most-watched live soccer games on US TV for the week of May 13-18:
