Nothing comes closer to the NFL in terms of viewership records. The country celebrates its 104-year-old league with utmost zeal every time. Last year, the NFL overpowered every American screen by breaking major records. It happens every year, but this time the NFL stormed the charts, and nobody dared to come close.

There are multiple leagues like NBA, MLB, NASCAR, F1, and even NCAA in contention. Still, their most watched games are not even a shadow of the NFL’s regular season showdowns. Last year too the league did the same and proved that America is in love with the NFL. This domination by the league is unmatchable and the records speak for themselves.

Most watched sporting events of the year include NFL games only

The NFL has swept away the table and is ruling the television scene single-handedly. According to reports, the league secured the top 56 spots of the most-watched games this year. As usual, the Super Bowl clinched the first spot by crossing the billion mark with 112.17 million views. The second and third spots were secured by the AFC and the NFC championships with 53.12 million and 47.50 million views, respectively.

The NFC divisional round came next, and the Thanksgiving special secured the fifth spot. The list consists of every special game that the NFL hosts: Wild Cards, Christmas specials, MNFs, and even SNFs. After the 56 spot, other sports do score some grace points. Which leagues came on top after the NFL?

Non-NFL sporting events that people love to watch

Even if we spare the NFL, the CFL secures the next three spots. College leagues have always ruled the hearts of Americans, and MCBB secured the next with 14.69 million views. After that comes the Kentucky Derby and finally the NBA finals make itself known with a meagre 13.08 million views.

According to reports, this year the NFL games can cross last year’s viewership charts. The MNF games like the Chiefs vs the Eagles and Christmas special games have broken the 2022 records. 2024 will now hold the week 18 games, followed by the Wild card, divisional rounds, and the Super Bowl.
