The USA, Canada, Panama, and Costa Rica were all in action during this period yet the no.1 slot went to an unexpected CONCACAF Gold Cup showdown.

The numbers are finally in! In the absence of the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, and Liga MX (which returns soon), the CONCACAF Gold Cup dominated the viewership numbers for soccer fans in the USA, with the exciting tournament treating us to a handful of interesting games on Monday through Wednesday.

The USMNT and Canada were in action during this period and despite them being two of the biggest nations in the North America, Central America, and Caribbean region; alongside Mexico; it was the showdown between Guatemala and Cuba that garnered the largest audience for one single network. Just over a quarter of a million people tuned in to TUDN to catch Guatemala's 1-0 victory while FS1 brought in an additional average viewership of 194,000 for this tie.

Nonetheless, the Stars and Stripes made it to the podium, finishing in a close second with an average viewership of 276,000 and a viewership rating of 0.12 on TUDN with their 6-0 thrashing of Saint Kitts and Nevis. Jesus Ferreira scored a hat-trick for the USA in this tie; however, the reigning champions have not secured progression yet and will need to avoid defeat in their final group-stage game in order to do that.

And finally, we have Panama's 2-1 win over Costa Rica, with an average viewership of 226,000 tuning in to TUDN to catch Los Ticos' disappointing loss. Jose Fajardo and Édgar Yoel Bárcenas Herrera scored the goals for Los Canaleros, leaving them in pole position to make the knockout round. Here is the list of most-watched games in the USA for June 26 to June 28, 2023.
