The CONCACAF Nations League dominated the podium, with all three spots going to this competition as millions tuned in to watch the USMNT lift the title.

The viewership numbers for soccer matches aired in the USA between June 12 and June 16, 2023 are in, and in the absence of the Premier League and Liga MX, one competition stole the limelight. That was the CONCACAF Nations League, which came to a wrap over the weekend, with the USMNT winning the title for the second time in a row.

The final saw the Stars and Stripes beat Canada 2-0, with highly-rated striker Folarin Balogun scoring his first goal for the national team after snubbing England for the United States. Nearly two million average viewers (1.8 million, to be precise) tuned in to Univision to catch the action but this was only enough to earn this fixture the runners-up spot.

Instead, the top spot went to the CONCACAF Nations League semifinal clash between the USA and Mexico, with Pulisic and Co. beating their rivals 3-0 in an ill-tempered game. Both teams picked up a red card, but for the Stars and Stripes, it mattered not as they secured progression to the final.

Wrapping up the top three is the third-place playoff between Panama and Mexico, which El Tri won 1-0. The three games to make the podium were all aired by Univision, garnering the Spanish-language network over five million average viewers in total.
