The week of November 6 to November 12, 2023, delivered several exciting games but it was Liga MX that reigned supreme in terms of viewership numbers in the USA. The Mexican top flight grabbed the top two spots for most-watched soccer matches, both of which were aired on TelevisaUnivision's free-to-air Spanish-language network Univision.
The top spot went to the showdown between Tigres UANL and Liga MX leaders Club America, which garnered over one million average viewers. Unfortunately, this match ended in a goalless draw but it did phenomenally for the aforementioned network. Second is Pumas UNAM's 1-0 victory over Guadalajara, which earned 841,000 average viewers for Univision, as Gabriel Fernandez's only goal sealed Pumas the three points.
And wrapping things up is the recent NWSL Championship game which saw OL Reign and NJ/NY Gotham battle it out. The latter emerged victorious, winning 2-1 to lift the title and earning CBS just over 800,000 average viewers.
Check out the most-watched soccer games in the USA for the week of November 6-12, 2023 below (only events with at least 150,000 viewers are listed).
