Again, the Super Bowl has crushed the album for the most watched television event in American history.
Super Bowl Lix supplied an average viewers of 126 million people, according to FOX's projections, including Nielsen data.
That average breaks the old record that was just established last year with the CBS broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII.
In addition, Fox Peak Vekership reported in the second quarter of 135.7 million viewers in Fox, Fox Deportes, Tubi, Telemundo and NFL Digital.
Reviews for the broadcast have not yet fallen. The highest rated Super Bowl broadcast was for Super Bowl XVI in 1982 – when the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Cincinnati Bengals.
Under the list of the most viewed broadcasts in American television history, it is generally assumed that the Apollo 11 Moon Landing is the most viewed with estimates that say that between 125-150 million is coordinated. However, no data has substantiated this claim.

The assessment of this Super Bowl will be of particular importance to see the percentage of viewers that is tailored to the game.
As a reference, while Super Bowl LVIII broke the record in 2024, it only achieved a rating of 43.1 – so that it is not on the list of the 30 highest rated TV broadcasts in the United States.
While Super Bowl XVI is the highest rated Super Bowl ever, the highest rated Super Bowl in the 21st century is Super Bowl Xlix – when the New England Patriots defeated the Seattle Seahawks. That game brought a rating of 47.5.
Super Bowl XVI is the fourth highest rated broadcast in American television history. It is behind the final of the TV mini-series 'Roots' (51.1 in 1977), the episode of the TV drama 'Dallas' who revealed who Jr Ewing shot (53.3 in 1980), and the record holder of all time: the series Final to the Vietnam-War era show 'M*A*S*H' (60.2 in 1983).
For comparison: Super Bowl Xlix is ​​only the ninth highest rated broadcast ever.
It is the fourth highest rated super bowl ever. Between 49ers-bengalen and Patriots-Seahawks are Super Bowl XVII (Redskins over Dolphins, 48.6) and Super Bowl xx (bears over Patriots, 48.3)
Apart from Super Bowls, there has been no other broadcast from 2000 and cracked on the list of the best rated broadcasts in American television history.
Those who do that are as follows: Super Bowl XLVI (giants about Patriots [the second time]47.0), Super Bowl XLVIII (Seahawks about Broncos, 46.7), Super Bowl 50 (Broncos over Panthers, 46.6), Super Bowl XLVII (Ravens more than 49ers, 46.4), Super Bowl XLV (Packers, 46.0) and Super Bowlers, 46.0) Li (Patriots about Falcons, 45.3).
