## Resource

The 2026 FIFA World Cup final, where Spain edged Argentina 1-0, shattered U.S. soccer viewing records with nearly 65 million viewers—surpassing all but the Super Bowl—and became the most-watched soccer match ever on English-language TV. The entire tournament averaged 7.7 million viewers per game, more than double the last World Cup, with half of Fox’s audience having skipped soccer entirely. Viewing parties surged, casual fans tuned in for the drama, and MLS saw ticket sales boom as networks race to secure rights for the 2030 World Cup—proving soccer’s power to unite and dominate the sports landscape.
