USMNT Sets TV Rating Records with Dominant Win Over Paraguay

The USMNT's 4-1 World Cup-opening win over Paraguay drew a massive audience, with 15.986 million viewers watching across FOX, FOX One and Tubi.

This makes it the most-watched USMNT telecast in history, and a testament to the growing popularity of soccer in the United States.

According to Nielsen Fast Nationals, Adobe and Tubi analytics, the average audience peaked at 18.86 million viewers between 10:45 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET.

This is a huge increase from the USMNT's opening match at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, with viewership up 106 percent compared to the group-stage opener against Wales in November 2022.

The match was also the most-streamed English-language USMNT game on record, with Tubi drawing an average-minute audience of 1.13 million viewers.

The Paraguay match gave fans plenty of reason to keep watching, with Pochettino's team delivering a convincing victory.

The USMNT will now turn its attention to its second group-stage match against Australia on Friday at 3 p.m. ET in Group D action.
