The numbers are in for the most-watched soccer games in the USA for September 18 through September 24, with Liga MX again grabbing the top spot thanks to Univision's coverage of Tigres UANL's 3-0 win over Monterrey.
This Mexican top-flight encounter garnered just above half a million average viewers as the Tigers maintained pace with San Luis and Club America. However, unlike in previous weeks, Liga MX did not dominate this list as two other competitions made it onto the podium.
Surprisingly, the second spot went to a Premier League game — but not the Premier League game everyone was expecting. In a weekend where Arsenal faced Tottenham and Liverpool hosted West Ham, it was Everton's 3-1 win over Brentford that made the cut, with this tie raking in 555,000 average viewers for NBC.
A UEFA Champions League tie wraps things up, with Barcelona's 5-0 victory over Antwerp grabbing the last spot. Univision took up two slots in the top three with its coverage, earning the Spanish-language network 529,000 average viewers. Check out the list in full below.
