From the opening weekend of the 2019 Women’s World Cup, both FOX Sports and Telemundo posted impressive TV ratings including 1.48 million viewers for the England-Scotland World Cup game on over-the-air FOX, which trumped the 1 million viewers who watched the friendly between the US Men’s National Team and Venezuela immediately afterwards.
After three days of the tournament, England’s win against Scotland on Sunday was Telemundo’s most-watched game of the tournament with a Total Audience Delivery average of 472,000 viewers across Telemundo, TelemundoDeportes.com, the Telemundo Deportes En Vivo app, and the NBC Sports app.
Through the seven matches that aired over the weekend, Telemundo doubled the 2015 Group Stage average (excluding 2015 Mexico matches, as that team didn’t qualify for this year’s event).
Telemundo Deportes’ three-day tournament opening TV-only audience averaged 258,000 viewers, outperforming historical group stage averages (excluding Mexico team).
