Argentina's epic World Cup final win over France also broke a television viewership record.
While Fox's number is still objectively big, it pales in comparison to the viewership the Super Bowl brings in annually. Super Bowl XLIX between New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks holds the current record at 114.442 million viewers in 2015, which is around eight times as many as the 2022 World Cup final.
This is perhaps the most obvious way to show how much ground soccer has to cover if it wants to catch American football as the most popular sport in the U.S. Not to mention that 30 of the 32 most-watched broadcasts in U.S. television history are Super Bowls .
