NFL: a record 32.7 million viewers for Kansas City Chiefs - Houston Texans on ESPN in the USA

Kansas City Chiefs - Houston Texans (23-14), the 2024-25 NFL season playoff game, drew an average of 32.7 million viewers on ESPN's channels in the United States on Saturday 18/01/2025 (kick-off at 16:30 ET), according to data from Nielsen communicated by the group on 20/01/2025.

This is the most-watched NFL game ever on ESPN's channels, according to the group, which added that the audience recorded exceeds that of all NFL games broadcast on its channels since 1987 (the first year ESPN broadcast NFL games).

"ESPN's Texans-Chiefs viewership is expected to surpass 33 million viewers when Nielsen reports the final audience this week. The current viewership of 32.7 million viewers includes the vast majority, but not all audiences from ESPN, ABC (free-TV) and ESPN+ (OTT)," added the group owned by The Walt Disney Company.
