An exciting weekend of football came and went with several big games across the globe, but not even El Clásico could end Liga MX's dominance for audiences in the U.S.

Football fans in the United States had quite a bit of options to watch in the weekend that recently concluded in terms of football games, and audiences across America confirmed their preferences when it comes to big leagues and big matches.

By now, it seems that Liga MX will be the undisputed champion for the remainder of the 2022-23 season, as not one, but two of their games surpassed one million average viewers this week. The highly anticipated Clásico between Guadalajara and América grabbed the top honors for Telemundo, while the second spot in our ranking went to the local rivalry between Tigres and Monterrey, with the latter taking the win home.

The final spot in the podium went to the UEFA Champions League match where Real Madrid defeated Liverpool. This match, which surpassed one million viewers adding up all platforms, also gave Univisión two of the top three games in this ranking. 

This week, no Premier League games were featured among the top three, with Arsenal getting close to third place but not quite racking up the numbers needed to feature there. Another interesting clash this week was El Clásico, which gave ESPN Deportes over 500,000 average viewers during its broadcast.

Here is the full list of games that made the cut for this ranking. To be included, each game must have had over 100,000 average viewers.
