The 2024 Super Bowl set a domestic record when an estimated 123 million people tuned in to make it the most-watched broadcast since the 1969 moon landing.
And last year topped it. More than 127 million saw the Philadelphia Eagles end the Kansas City Chiefs' dreams of a three-peat in February 2025.
Worth saying that these figures are tracking only US audiences. When a worldwide audience is factored in, things change - for instance the global TV audience for the 2022 men's World Cup final was watched by an estimated 1.5 billion people.
