The viewership numbers for soccer matches aired in the USA between April 3-9, 2023 are in, and once again, Liga MX displayed its dominance by delivering two of the three most-watched games during the aforementioned timeframe.
However, unlike previous weeks, only one match on this list grabbed over one million viewers and that was Club America's crucial 2-1 win over league leaders Monterrey. To be precise, 1.1 million people tuned in to watch Liga MX's most successful club slash the visitors' lead at the top to seven points.
The Premier League features on this list, with Manchester City's 4-1 win over Southampton making the podium. Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish stole the show as Guardiola's men maintained their fight to defend their title. A total of 805,000 people tuned in to NBC to catch the action live as the Cityzens maintained pressure on league leaders Arsenal.
And finally, we have Tigres UANL's clash with Mazatlan, aired on Univision, as over 700,000 people watched the Mexican giants lose 2-1 on home soil. As a result, the Tigres remain mid-table in Liga MX. Here is the full list of games that made this ranking (only matches with an audience of over 100,000 average viewers are listed).
