The audience for Fox's telecast of the Chiefs' 31-20 win over the 49ers was up 1.5% over 2019's game.
Nielsen data showed the Fox telecast of the game from Miami was up nearly 1.5% over last year’s contest between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams, whichAlthough the Super Bowl is by far the most dominant perennial TV event, it has declined slightly in each of the last four years. An overall decline in TV usage, as many consumers now use streaming devices for video content, is likely a factor.
Fox offered a stream of Super Bowl LIV, which, along with the Spanish-language feed on Fox Deportes, raised the audience for the game to 102 million viewers. Last year, the total Super Bowl audience on CBS, ESPN Deportes and streaming platforms combined to average 100.7 million viewers.Last year’s 11-year low was attributed to the lack of offensive action in the game. Ratings for the NFL’s regular season have grown in the last two years, attributed in part to an increase in scoring.
Super Bowl LIV had plenty of action, with the Chiefs scoring 21 points in the fourth quarter to overcome a 10-point deficit in their victory over the 49ers. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was named most valuable player in the game, solidifying his status as the NFL’s biggest young star.
