Record viewing everywhere you look: 2023 Womens World Cup Television Ratings Around the World *updated 11/08/23*

Tournament organisers have announced that they are aiming for a worldwide audience of 2 billion, surpassing the 1.19 billion FIFA claims watched the 2019 edition of the Womens tournament. So lets have a look at how the ratings are going around the world.

Australia

The World Cup is being shown on Seven and Optus Sports in Australia, and Seven has very loudly been out there touting its figures while Optus has yet to provide any data on its viewership for the cup.

The Matildas’ opening match against Ireland in the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ was an out-of-the-park hit with viewers, reaching 4.88 million people across the screens of the Seven Network.

The streaming numbers and TV ratings from the three Irish games demonstrate the continuing support for the women’s national team as live audiences for women’s sport hit an all-time high.

Japan

FIFA notes that 6.2m people watched Japan take on the Norwegian women – this is more than double the amount that watched their previous game against Spain.

Netherlands

According to FIFA, The Netherlands game against South Africa averaged 688,000 with a 93% audience share in the early hours – this as up 75% on the audience for their game against the United States with 381,000 viewers.

New Zealand

According to Fifa, more than a million viewers tuned in to the Kiwis opening match. 39.2 per cent of New Zealanders tuned in across Sky TV and various free-to-air options for the opening 1-0 win over Norway, stating it is the highest TV audience for a football match in this country for more than 20 years.

An average audience of 623,201 watched NZ takle on Switzerland – the highest FIFA womens world cup audience, beating the opening game by 32%. Sky sport report a total audience reach of 1.86m – or 38% of the population

Switzerland

In Switzerland, ratings for its draw against New Zealand came in at 440,000 average viewers, and was the most watched womens world cup match ever in Switzerland.

United Kingdom

England’s opener v Haiti attracted a peak audience of 4.2m on ITV 1 on UK television, a 39.4% audience share, for what was a 10.30am kick-off UK time. It surpassed the 3.7m peak that saw the #Lionesses‘ opening match at Euro 2022 on the BBC (an evening kick-off).

England’s dramatic penalty shoot-out win over Nigeria in the last 16 of the Fifa Women’s World Cup was watched by more than five million on BBC TV. FIFA notes that an average of 3.7m viewers tuned in for the match, with a 60% market share – a record market share for any womens wolrd cup match.

There was a peak audience of 5.2m on BBC One and an additional 2.6m streams across BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport Online, as the match coverage received the highest viewing figures of the competition so far in the UK. FIFA reports that this is the highest peak of the tournament to date.

United States

6.43 million people tuned in to the U.S. women’s national team’s 1-1 draw against the Netherlands , making it the most-watched group stage match in women’s FIFA World Cup history for an English-language broadcast, according to data released Thursday by Fox Sports.

The United States’ 1-1 draw against the Netherlands in the Women’s World Cup drew 7.93 million viewers, making it the largest combined English- and Spanish-language audience for a group stage match involving the American women. Fox and Nielsen said the audience peaked at 8.45 million for the final 15 minutes.

6.26 million viewers tuned in for the U.S. women’s team 3-0 victory over Vietnam in the first match of the group stages.

Both of the U.S. team’s first two group stage matches were aired in primetime in the U.S., with both matches airing at 9 p.m. EDT, which likely provided a jolt in viewership.

The Canada-Nigeria match averaged a 0.7 and 1.23 million on FOX — up 6% compared to an average of 1.16 million for non-U.S. group stage matches in 2019.

 The Argentina-South Africa FIFA Women’s World Cup group stage match averaged 887,000 viewers on FS1, trailing only Brazil-South Korea in 2015 (965K) as the most-watched non-U.S. group stage match ever on the network. It also ranks second for this year’s tournament (excluding U.S. matches) behind only Canada-Nigeria on FOX on the opening night of play.

Earlier in the week, Colombia-Brazil averaged 661,000 on FS1 Monday night. Both matches outperformed the network’s 2019 average for non-U.S. group stage windows (449K).

The Tuesday 3 AM ET United States-Portugal FIFA Women’s World Cup match averaged a 0.8 rating and 1.35 million viewers on FOX, marking the network’s largest-ever audience in that timeslot. As one would expect given the timeslot, viewership was far lower than the first two USWNT group play matches, which averaged 6.43 and 5.26 million.

The scoreless draw, which peaked with 1.73 million viewers from 4:45-5 AM ET, ranks as the least-watched USWNT World Cup match since a 2011 group play matchup against Sweden on ESPN (1.26M). Even with a sharply-lower audience on Tuesday, the three USWNT group stage matches averaged 4.3 million viewers on FOX — up 11% from 2019 (3.91M) and the largest group stage average on record. The previous record was 4.28 million in 2015, when the tournament took place in North America and all three matches aired in primetime (though one was carried by FS1).

Sunday’s Sweden-United States FIFA Women’s World Cup round of 16 match averaged a 1.4 rating and 2.52 million viewers on FOX, down 20% from U.S.-Spain on FS1 in 2019 (3.15M). The Swedes’ extra-time win — which marked the earliest World Cup defeat in the history of the USWNT — peaked with 4.07 million viewers from 7:30-7:45 AM.

Overall, two of the four USWNT matches began in the overnight or early morning hours. Nevertheless, the team’s matches averaged 3.80 million viewers on FOX — up 2% from its first four matches in 2019 (3.73M). Keep in mind that the addition of out-of-home viewing (which was not tracked in 2019 or prior years) would likely account for the increase.

Spain v Netherlands n FOX averaged 1.777m from 8:45-midnight ET and a further 815,000 on Telemundo

Vietnam

In their first ever World Cup match, the women averaged 1.6m viewers on television and was the highest audience ever recorded for a Womens World Cup game, garnering a 29% audience share.
