12/02/2025

NEW YORK - February 11, 2025 - An estimated 127.7 million viewers tuned in for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, February 9, according to Nielsen, making it the largest audience for a Super Bowl and for a single-network telecast in TV history. Super Bowl LIX aired on FOX, FOX Deportes and Telemundo and streamed on Tubi from approximately 6:42 PM ET to 10:16 PM ET.

The matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs drew a combined average household rating of 41.7, and combined household share of 83. The peak average audience hit 137.7 million viewers from 8:00 PM 8:15 PM ET in the second quarter. In total, year-over-year viewership was up 3.2% from the previous record-setting audience that watched Super Bowl LVIII in 2024.

Audience estimates are inclusive of Out-Of-Home (OOH), and digital viewing (mobile, PC, MVPD app, vMVPD), in addition to streaming on Tubi and digital properties of FOX Sports and the NFL, including NFL+. Earlier this month, Nielsen announced its OOH measurement now covers 100% of the U.S. contiguous television population.
