Atlanta United’s 3-2 victory over Club America in the 2019 Campeones Cup was watched by a total of 1.54 million viewers on Wednesday across Univision, TUDN and ESPN2. This was a 28% increase in total television audience when compared to the first edition of the tournament featuring Toronto FC and Tigres.

Total viewership for the contest was down to 821,000 viewers from 871,000 viewers in 2018.

Last Saturday afternoon’s Premier League match between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur drew a combined 1.255 million viewer audience, making it the most-watched soccer match of the weekend in the United States. Two weeks into the new season, the Premier League is averaging 623,417 viewers across NBC, NBCSN, Telemundo and Universo, up from 587,500 in the first two weeks of the 2018-2019 season.
