The TV ratings for soccer matches in the USA are in, with the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup grabbing the top spot with its final game — the final! Spain and England locked horns in the ultimate game, with FOX garnering 1.8 million average viewers in a worthy curtain closer to this exciting tournament. La Roja were crowned champions for the first time after beating the Lionesses 1-0, with Olga Carmona scoring the only goal of the game.
From one final to another, Inter Miami's clash with Nashville SC in the Leagues Cup final grabbed the runners-up spot, with roughly 1.5 million viewers tuning in to Univision to watch Lionel Messi lead the MLS franchise to their first-ever silverware. The game ended in a 1-1 draw and went to penalties, with the Florida franchise triumphing 10-9 in a grueling penalty shoutout.
And wrapping things up is another FIFA Women's World Cup game, this time the semifinal showdown between Australia and England. Just over one million average viewers tuned in to FOX to catch the Lionesses' 3-1 victory over the co-hosts, with Sam Kerr's wondergoal not being enough for the Matildas.
