Gold Cup match is No. 1

Coverage of the final game between the U.S. and Mexico tops the competition.

The combined viewership of the Spanish- and English-language telecasts of the U.S.-Mexico CONCACAF Gold Cup soccer final was larger than any primetime program during the week of Independence Day.

Univision’s Spanishlanguage coverage of Mexico’s 1-0 victory Sunday averaged 5.66 million viewers, fifth among prime-time broadcast and cable programs airing between July 1 and Sunday, according to live-plus-same-day figures released by Nielsen on Wednesday.

The English-language coverage of the men’s soccer game on cable’s FS1 averaged 2.88 million viewers, for a combined audience of 8.54 million.

The audience on FS1 was third among the week’s prime-time cable programs behind the July 1 episodes of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel.

Fox’s coverage of the U.S.’ 2-0 victory over the Netherlands in Sunday’s FIFA Women’s World Cup final, which aired in late morning and early afternoon in most of the nation, averaged 13.98 million viewers, with an average of an additional 289,000 watching the streaming broadcast.

Telemundo’s Spanishlanguage coverage averaged 1.6 million viewers from traditional television and streaming.

In a week with little firstrun programming because of Independence Day, reruns of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” and the CBS news magazine “60 Minutes” were the only prime-time programs to average more than 6 million viewers.

“America’s Got Talent” was first for the week, averaging 6.82 million viewers, with “60 Minutes” second, averaging 6.80 million.

NBC also received a boost from “Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular,” which was third for the week, averaging 5.87 million viewers, to be the mostwatched network for the second consecutive week, averaging 3.54 million viewers. It tied with CBS for first the week of June 17-23.
