For its final weekend, the NWSL is touting report viewership.
According to the women’s professional sports league, the Orlando Pride’s 1-0 get over the Washington Spirit on Saturday was watched by an average market of 967, 500 viewers on CBS, a new report for not just the league’s title game, but for any NWSL match. The audience was an 18 % improvement from NJ/NY Gotham FC’s title-clinching win in 2023 and a 6 % lift against the previous record match in 2022, when the Portland Thorns captured their third championship.
The group also announced that the 2024 last peaked at 1.1 million people, though which place of meet the peak occurred was never revealed.
Also, Sunday’s NWSL Skills Challenge had an average market of 1.1 million people on CBS, peaking with 1.53 million people. Regional NFL channels acting as lead-ins for the occasion, which aired a day after the last, were greatly benefited.

The group had a fantastic year both on and off the ball with Barbra Banda’s first-half purpose in the name activity. The NWSL drew 2 million viewers for its normal time games for the first time, eclipsing next month’s history of 1, 424, 208. Regular match attendance surpassed 11, 000 this year, with 89 games played in front of 10, 000 viewers (up from 55 games with such numbers in 2023 ).
The NWSL’s media partners are pleased that popularity has increased, as this is the NWSL’s first four-year rights deal’s second time. Last November, the NWSL chose to not only renew its broadcast deal with CBS but added ESPN, Scripps Sports (via Ion Television ) and Amazon’s Prime Video, drawing$ 240 million over a four-year period.
Control income for a number of groups, including Angel City FC, the San Diego Wave, and the pending package for the North Carolina Courage, have also helped company prices continue to rise. The rising sea is also being exacerbated by the$ 53 million franchise fees for Bay FC and BOS Nation FC, which are expected to add to the momentum.
The people ‘ coalition was forced to drive for a fresh collective bargaining agreement with the group as advertising revenues and company values increased.
If Orlando City SC win its initial MLS Cup, Orlando has a chance to be the center of sports in the United States, at least in 2024. Both companies are owned by the Wilf community, which even owns the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings.
