The Feb. 11 Super Bowl game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers brought in an average of 123.4 million viewers — the highest number of people watching the same broadcast in the history of television.
112 million of those viewers were tuned into the CBS broadcast — the largest audience ever for a single network. The rest were measured across Paramount+, Nickelodeon, Univision, CBS Sports and NFL digital properties including NFL+. Per Paramount Global, Paramount+ saw record-breaking viewership that made Sunday the most-streamed Super Bowl ever, but exact data regarding streaming views isn’t available.
Before this, the biggest telecast of all time was last year’s Super Bowl game between the Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. It was initially named the third most-watched, ranking behind the 2015 and 2017 Super Bowls which brought in 114.4 million and 113.7 million viewers, respectively. But Nielsen later caught errors in their measurement that raised the tally from 113 million to a record-breaking 115.1 million viewers. Sunday’s game improved on that number by 7%.

Did you actually watch the game or did you focus on the commercials?
I would not argue that.
The telecast probably doesn’t have a separate theme song for negroes either.
The KC Chiefs were losing the game until Taylor Swift stood up and clicked the heels of her ruby red slippers three times.
“A lot of conservatives are very will to give them money by watching”
I understand that I’m helping them make money from advertisers by watching, but it’s a bit of stretch to say I’m “giving them money” by watching a free broadcast. My bank account didn’t budge on Sunday, one way or the other. And I haven’t yet been convinced to purchase a single thing that was advertised on Sunday. No Dunkin Donuts, no new BMWs, no State Farm insurance.
Weekend TV is always at it’s dullest point nothing changed.
At least there was a Columbo marathon on.
Interesting that one Tucker Carlson interview on Twitter last week had 200 million views...and counting.
I’m not sure what “weekend TV” is, but I assume you’re not a sports fan if the that’s how you categorize the Super Bowl.
You’re right.
There’s no way US football is more watched than World Cup.
**Bugs and circuses**
The hype, before, during, and after is indeed circus quality. Pre-game has music intros and exits that present a sense of excitment. Men almost yelling at each other, and the cameras, excitedly. Women reporters with faces painted as exquisitely as any clown. CGI graphics (imagery that doesn’t really physically exist) to dazzel and hypnotize the football sheep.
America is addicted to the sports drug. The need for a ‘fix’ on a regular basis is epidemic. The hours that could have been spent on something productive in life, gone.
I wasn’t one of them.
“The KC Chiefs were losing the game until Taylor Swift stood up and clicked the heels of her ruby red slippers three times.”
There’s a cohort of Swifties who believe just that... that TS’s “magic” carried the day.
It was a good game. Typically the playoff games are better than the super bowl.
Or even the UEFA Champions League Final.
You are spot on, and the NFC North will be the Division to watch in 2024! GO PACK!
No doubt. Glad you enjoyed the game. :)
Well said.
Proudly, I didn’t watch a down, and I didn’t even know who won until yesterday. I still don’t know who sang the national anthem, or if there even was one.
I did see here that there was a “N###o” “national” anthem (thank you, Steve Cohen (D), for your continued racism and stupidity).
And half them are mad now.
