The #Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVIII victory over the #49ers was the most-watched telecast ever, according to CBS Sports PR.

The Kansas City Chiefs continue to break records and stretch their success away from the football field after defeating the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII. The team’s thrilling overtime victory, capped with a walk-off touchdown pass from Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes to wide receiver Mecole Hardman, earned the team its third title in five seasons while making television history.

On Monday night, CBS Sports public relations revealed that the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVIII victory over the 49ers delivered the most-watched telecast in history, with a Total Audience Delivery of 123.4 million average viewers across all platforms.

The Las Vegas atmosphere, mixed with the star power of Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and more on the field, helped CBS lead the way with 120.0 million viewers, the largest audience in history for a single network.

Compared to last season’s Super Bowl, the audience size was up 10 percent while securing the title of most-streamed Super Bowl in history, led by a record-setting audience on Paramount+.

The Chiefs notably made history earlier this season in Kansas City during their international matchup with the Miami Dolphins. The victory in Frankfurt, Germany, during Week 9 was watched by more than 94 percent of all TVs in the Kansas City area.

The Cowboys-Patriots game is set to be the most-watched regular season game of the year

If it seems like there are the same teams in primetime games, that’s probably because it’s true. Certain teams just draw more viewers whether it’s because of market size, star power, or a national following. That’s why we get the Giants on Sunday …

If it seems like there are the same teams in primetime games, that’s probably because it’s true. Certain teams just draw more viewers whether it’s because of market size, star power, or a national following. That’s why we get the Giants on Sunday Night Football even though they haven’t been a good football team for a few years now. It’s why the Packers and Steelers are often scheduled at marquee teams. This Sunday there are two late games. There’s the Titans-Jaguars AFC South shown and there’s the Cowboys traveling to Foxborough to take on the Patriots. Take on guess on which game will be more watched.

As long as the Cowboys-Patriots matchup remains close, it should generate some amazing ratings. The Cowboys are one of — if not the — most popular football team in the country. They have fans outside of Dallas who have probably never even stepped foot in Texas. They are “America’s Team.”

The Patriots are the team of the current century — not just the team of the decade. They have one of the greatest coaches of all time. They have one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. They are the evil empire that opposing fans hate — and are jealous of — because of how much they win.

Both teams are from major markets. Both have a national following. They generate great viewership numbers when they don’t play each other.

So Fox should be excited. The NFL should be excited. Ratings will be through the roof. Now if they could only figure out a way to have these two teams meet in the Super Bowl.
