The 2022 World Cup Final will go down as one of the most exciting matches in World Cup history. It will also go down in history for FOX Sports.
The match featuring Argentina and France is the most-watched World Cup Final in U.S. television history. According to the network, over 16.7 million viewers tuned into the conclusion of the tournament.
According to the network, the previous high for a World Cup Final was in 1994 when Brazil defeated Italy before a television audience of over 14.5 million.
The broadcast is now the most-watched World Cup match in English-language history in the country, defeating the record set earlier in this year’s tournament between the United States and England in the Group Stage.
It’s the latest ratings victory for the network during the world’s premiere soccer event. Several games hit highs for FOX Sports, with the network claiming Americans would spend more time watching the World Cup than they would watching March Madness.
