XFL TV Ratings: Not one XFL game in Week 2 topped 800k viewers, Really Bad Numbers
Week Two of the XFL averaged 655,000 viewers last week and is down almost 50 percent from week 1.
If you go back to 2020, they are down 68 percent from the second reboot of the XFL.
It was the first week in XFL history where not one game broke 1 million viewers. The numbers are a bit screwed because ESPN Plus is not reported, and that is how I actually watch the game, so I bet they would be over 1 million if they reported the numbers from Plus.
The biggest game was San Antonio once again bailing out the XFL. They had 781,000 viewers against Orlando, while Arlington and Houston had 678,000 viewers on ESPN2.
TV Ratings For XFL Week Two:
Seattle Sea Dragons vs. St. Louis Battlehawks (FX): 553,000

Orlando Guardians vs. San Antonio Brahmas (ESPN): 781,000
Houston Roughnecks vs. Arlington Renegades (ESPN2): 678,000
If you look at week 2 of the 2020 season you will see a big difference.
