Nycfc/ocsc Sets New Mls Ratings Record On Espn2
- Thread starter NYCFCFan10
- Start date
That's awesome! I think this weekend will be a big number as well.
Only 1 MLS game had a higher rating last year and that was Seattle vs. LA supporter's shield game at 699k on regular NBC.
So 539k for a first game on Espn2 is pretty inspiring.

Amazing what happens when everyone knows what time the game will be. Great job MLS, ESPN, Orlando, NYCFC, etc.
This is entirely correct. Creating a weekly destination game time has been long overdue.
Let's set a new record for week 2!
But in the last 10 years I always heard all the people to say that a NYC soccer team was absolutely useless ( a new Chivas )............... Ridicolous.
Forza NYCFC !!!!

NFL gets 17.6 million viewers on average per telecast. For perspective
Apples and oranges. This is a big step forward for the league. Can anyone grab numbers for EPL coverage since NBC took over?
Average viewing figures of 391,000 with a record viewership of 1.29 million, if my sources (Google) are correct.
TV ratings is the real battle... not attendance. Full stadiums are great, but the real money comes from TV deals. Look at that new EPL contact. MLS needs to get soccer fans to watch other teams, not just their local club. Just making it to NHL levels would be incredible.
At the 2014-15 season midpoint, NBC Sports Group’s average Premier League viewership is up 15% (to 479,000 viewers) from last season, with the Adults 18-49 demographic up 24% (to 284,000 viewers). Manchester United’s 2-1 victory over Arsenal on November 22 on NBC averaged 1.4 million viewers to rank as the most-watched live Premier League match in U.S. history
The REAL question is this: ESPN 2 typically shows Professional Bowling on Sundays. How did we match up to that?
