The 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup reached its conclusion on Sunday, breaking many records in the process particularly on the Spanish-language side. Sunday morning’s final delivered a total audience of 1.6 million viewers on Telemundo’s broadcast, making it the most-watched FIFA Women’s World Cup match in the history of Spanish-language television. The tournament, as a whole, also set a record for the most-watched FIFA Women’s World Cup ever on Spanish-language television, with Telemundo averaging 301,000 viewers per match across all of their platforms, a 27% increase from the 2015 World Cup in Canada.
Over on FOX, the final saw a pretty substantial drop from 25.4 million viewers in 2015 to 13.99 million viewers this year, this is likely due in large part to the time zone shift with the 2015 final having kicked off in prime time in the United States. FOX’s broadcast saw 289,000 people watch via streaming, about 2% of their total audience.
Sunday was also a big day for MLS with a match between Atlanta United and New York Red Bulls kicking off about an hour after the conclusion of the Women’s World Cup final. That match saw the largest audience for a MLS match in 15 years, averaging 1.6 million viewers. It was the 21st match to be broadcast on FOX since the network began airing matches in 2016. Since then, matches on FOX have averaged 840,571 viewers.
The 2019 Copa América final between Brazil and Peru ranks as the most-watched Copa América final in the United States since 2007 with a Total Audience Delivery of 3.1 million viewers. Overall, Telemundo averaged 1.05 million viewers over 26 broadcasts for the tournament.
The 2019 Gold Cup Final between the United States and Mexico saw a 116% increase in viewership over the 2017 edition with FS1 and Univision combining for a total viewership of 8.78 million. Univision’s networks averaged 1.228 million viewers from 31 broadcasts throughout the tournament, with matches involving the Mexican national team averaging 3.282 million.

Collin what was that Friday 1opm game that had the severe weather delay and didn’t end til 3am? The first number Programming Insider put out was 704k they then updated it yesterday to 202k for Unimas you are reporting 75k for UDN whats going on it’s confusing. What’s the actual number for the Colorado vs LAFC game.
Programming Insider said Colorada vs LAFC game rating was 202k for Unimas you guys have 75k, so 277k for UniMas/UDN?
The 75k is what was provided to us by Univision when we requested the number.
Ok so it must be in conjunction with the UniMas number Programming Insider got from UniMas below
Futbol MLS Los Angeles FC vs. Colorado Rapids (S)
