The viewership numbers for soccer matches in the USA from November 27 to December 3, 2023, are in. To no one's surprise, Liga MX dominated the list, with several Apertura quarterfinal fixtures getting over the one-million mark.
In fact, one match-up took up both the first and second slots, with the second leg of Guadalajara's battle with Pumas UNAM grabbing the top spot while the first leg was the runner-up. The second leg, which ended in a 3-0 defeat for Chivas, garnered Univision 1,228,000 million average viewers as Veljko Paunović's side bowed out of the competition.
Telemundo made it to second with its coverage of the first leg, which Chivas won 1-0. Likewise, this game earned just over 1.2 million average viewers, with 1,212,000 million people tuning in, to be precise, securing a viewership rating of 0.53.
Wrapping things up is the 2nd leg Liga MX Apertura quarterfinal showdown between Club America and Leon, which ended in a 2-0 victory — 4-2 on aggregate — for the Eagles. This was another game televised by the Spanish-language network Univision, garnering just under 1.2 million average viewers and a 0.54 viewership rating, as André Jardine's men booked a semifinal clash with San Luis.
