The National Women’s Soccer League returned to the airwaves with the league’s third and final regular season match broadcast on Fox Sports 1 attracting 47,000 viewers, the lowest of the league’s three nationally televised matches. Major League Soccer on Fox Sports 1 did not fare much better either with Columbus Crew and DC United drawing only 97,000 viewers. Since August 1, only two of the seven MLS broadcasts on Fox Sports 1 have managed to break the 100,000 viewer mark.

Liga MX remained strong against College football competition, averaging 747,600 viewers across 6 match windows on Saturday and Sunday. Club América leads the way. Their first 10 matches of the Clasura have averaged 1.05 million viewers on the networks of Univision.

The Premier League on NBC continues to be America’s English-language league of choice, averaging just over 400,000 viewers per match window this weekend. Viewership peaked Saturday afternoon with 608,000 watching Arsenal’s dominant 3-0 victory against Chelsea on NBCSN. La Liga and the Bundesliga came nowhere close to challenging them, averaging only 138,000 and 55,000 viewers respectively.

Here are the TV viewing audiences:
