Week 0 officially kicked off the college football season and even though the number of options were slimmer than a typical college football Saturday, one matchup delivered big numbers for FOX.
FOX Sports released that the Nebraska/Northwestern game that kicked the season off grabbed 4.419 million viewers. It was the most-watched sports event on the day.
The ratings delivered even more positive news with a 35% increase from last year’s Week 0 telecast on FOX, which was between Illinois and Nebraska and pulled in 3.27 million viewers. FOX Sports also noted that they recorded a streaming average minute audience of 76,510 which is also up from last year’s game by 24%.
