TV Broadcast: Club World Cup Match, Tune In for Commentary
In the wee hours of the night, soccer enthusiasts across Italy glued themselves to their screens for the unique face-off between Ah Ahly-Inter Miami, the Club World Cup's inaugural match. A whopping 196,000 viewers tuned into Italy One, marking a captivating start to the tournament. Commentary was provided by Massimo Callegari and Simone Tiribocchi, as the Eygptian team and the American club featuring League Messi settled for a 0-0 draw.
Jumping ahead to primetime, 1.625 million viewers caught the Paris Saint Germain's triumph over Atletico Madrid, also aired on Italy One. As the Club World Cup continues until mid-July in the United States, Mediaset, the broadcaster, airs one match per day and promotes the event with a daily "Club World Cup Show." Tonight at 9 PM, Chelsea and Los Angeles FC square off.
Sadly, Dazn, the English-owned platform, hasn't disclosed its viewership figures, so we can't say for sure how many eyeballs watched the lopsided Bayern Monaco-Auckland match that ended 10-0, or the Botafogo-Seattle match of the previous night. Dazn is streaming the tournament, not just for subscribers, but for the public at large.
With the revamped Club World Cup tournament, it seems like interest among younger audiences has surged, with 55% of U.S. sports fans being somewhat likely to watch and higher engagement among those aged 18-34[3]. For a more precise account of viewership figures, we recommend reaching out to specific networks or consulting official tournament reports.
Despite the widespread viewing of the Club World Cup on traditional channels, the English-owned platform Dazn streams the tournament for free, potentially attracting a significant number of viewers, especially among younger demographics, who show a growing interest in sports events like this. The upcoming Chelsea vs. Los Angeles FC match will undoubtedly be watched avidly, with the average viewer age possibly skewing younger on Dazn due to its free access model.
