Copa America

Most-watched Copa America Centenario teams on US TV

For some, the country that has been the most-watched Copa America Centenario team on US television may be a surprise. It’s not, as you would expect, the United States as the host country.

Others won’t be surprised that it’s the Mexico national team that was the most popular Copa America Centenario team on US shores.

Based on our own research and the help from Sports TV Ratings, we’ve averaged the number of viewers per game across FOX Sports and Univision.

While Mexico leads the pack, some surprises include Brazil not making it into the top 10 most-watched teams. That’s partly due to their early exit in the tournament, but they also didn’t play games against high-profile teams such as Mexico, USA, Argentina, Chile or Colombia.
