Fox Sports Projects Record 126M Super Bowl Viewers

Fox Sports anticipates a record Super Bowl viewership of 126 million US viewers for Sunday's game, where Philadelphia triumphed over Kansas City 40-22. The broadcast spanned across Fox, Fox Deportes, and Telemundo, with streaming available on Tubi and NFL platforms. Peak viewership hit 135.7 million during the second quarter. Early projections include 14.5 million streaming viewers, with 13.6 million on Tubi. These figures reflect updated Nielsen metrics, which now count out-of-home viewers in nearly all states, influencing the surge in numbers.

President Trump, attending as the first sitting president to appear at the big game, as well as Taylor Swift garnered additional attention. This marks the third consecutive year with over 100 million viewers, following last year's 123.7 million average for the Chiefs' victory over San Francisco. Despite this, NFL playoffs saw a 9% drop from last year, averaging 35.2 million viewers. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
