UFL Week 6 TV Ratings continue to improve | UFL could be here to stay!
The United Football League is off to strong ratings start its inaugural spring season as it continues to establish its brand in a schedule crowded with baseball, basketball and hockey action.
This past Sunday afternoon’s D.C.-San Antonio game averaged 1,220,000 viewers on FOX, which according to Mike Mitchell is the 2nd best UFL 2024 ratings performance this season on any network.
Up 41% vs. last year’s broadcast network average of 864,000 viewers for regular season USFL and XFL games on FOX, ABC and NBC.
Up 78% vs. last year’s equivalent Week 6 USFL broadcast network average of 684,000 viewers on FOX.
The UFL telecast peaked with 1.331 million viewers from 5:00-5:15pm.
Up through last week of the season, the UFL, which was formed from the merger of the USFL and XFL — averaged 845,000 viewers over 18 telecasts on Fox, ESPN, and ABC. That’s a 25% increase over the combined total of last year’s USFL and XFL games through Week 5.
