United States, Belgium and Fox
Monday night
The United States’ 4-1 World Cup defeat by Belgium drew an average of 30 million viewers on Fox, making it the most-watched soccer telecast in US history. Telemundo added another record Spanish-language USMNT national audience.
The combined Fox and Telemundo audience is expected to reach around 40 million once final Nielsen inputs are counted. The figure surpassed the Bosnia knockout record set days earlier, proving the US run delivered mainstream national attention.
