Despite a one-sided score, a historic number of fans tuned in to watch Super Bowl LIX.

According to preliminary data from Nielsen and Fox Sports, Sunday’s broadcast averaged 126 million viewers across multiple platforms. If these figures are confirmed, it would mark the second consecutive year that the Super Bowl achieved a record-breaking viewership in the United States. The current numbers represent a 2 percent increase from last year’s all-time high of 123.7 million viewers on CBS, which accounted for 120.25 million of that total.

Fox also reported that the game set a streaming record for Super Bowls, attracting 13.6 million viewers on its free platform, Tubi, and a total of 14.5 million when including NFL digital channels. The previous streaming record was approximately 11.2 million viewers in 2022.

If these viewership numbers hold steady, the primary Fox broadcast may see a slight decline compared to last year’s CBS broadcast, which drew 120.25 million viewers. However, the significant surge in streaming numbers compensates for this potential loss.

The lopsided scoreline did little to dampen viewers’ enthusiasm. The Philadelphia Eagles triumphed over the Kansas City Chiefs with a final score of 40-22, although the match wasn’t as competitive as the score seems. The Eagles led 34-0 late in the third quarter and held a 40-6 advantage before a couple of late touchdowns from Kansas City.

Viewership peaked at 135.7 million during the second quarter, from 8-8:15 p.m. ET, as the Eagles built a 24-0 halftime lead. Audiences also stayed engaged for Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance, which featured his Grammy-winning track “Not Like Us” and carried through to the latter half of the game.

Alongside Fox’s main broadcast and Tubi’s live streaming, Telemundo provided a Spanish-language version of the game. A more detailed analysis of the viewership across all platforms will be released on Tuesday.
