The FA Cup Semi-Final matchup between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur drew 804,000 viewers to FOX and FOX Deportes combined, making it the most-watched soccer broadcast on the FOX network since the MLS/NFL doubleheader in September, 2017.

It was a poor week for Liga MX on Univision’s networks as both Club América and Chivas de Guadalajara played their matches late Friday drawing 376,000 and 598,000 viewers respectively. Liga MX viewership peaked at 609,000 Saturday evening, down 47% from 1.15 million viewers in the same time slot last week.

Last week was not great to Major League Soccer either as FOX Sports 1’s broadcast of the meeting between the Portland Timbers and New York City FC was watched by only 152,000, FS1’s worst MLS viewing number in 2018 thus far. ESPN did not fare well either, barely scratching 200,000 viewers for one of the league’s more popular teams, Seattle Sounders.
