Estimated 126 million Americans watched the Super Bowl

Fox Sports is projecting a Super Bowl record average audience of 126 million U.S. viewers across television and streaming platforms for Philadelphia's 40-22 victory over Kansas City on Sunday night.

The game was televised by Fox, Fox Deportes and Telemundo and streamed on Tubi as well as the NFL's digital platforms.

If the estimate holds, it would surpass the most viewed Super Bowl in history, which was last year's championship game between the Chiefs and 49ers. That game pulled in 123.7 million viewers.

By comparison, close to 8 billion people watched Donald Trump's second inauguration. Go ahead, just ask him! But what he won't tell you is that they all held their noses!

I sure read a log of posts in multiple forums who planned on boycotting the Super Bowl
And they said others doing it also.

so there's gotta be some credibility to those figures. But it is a projection at this point, so we'll see.

I don’t mean to nit pick but we must be accurate in our reporting or he will sue us.

People tuned in to this latest Super Bowl to see if the Chiefs could win a game with 11 players on the field. Did ya see Patrick towards the end of the game sliding into the ten yard line, popping up and looking for a flag?

Disclosure. Eagles Fan.

part of the game, found it boring and turned the channel on my tv and watched a movie. When a team is so far ahead of another team in scoring, with no chance to catch up, I find the game boring. Is that ok with you?!
