Matilda’s win in the World Cup Quarter Final lived up to ratings expectations and delivered Seven a massive 65.4% network share on Saturday night. The result compares to the 68.1% record OzTAM share that Nine achieved for Ash Barty’s AO win in 2022 and the 65.8% that Seven’s AFL Grand Final coverage scored in both 2021 and 2020.

The table currently presents preliminary results for the original schedule coding and will obviously need significant adjustment due to the extra time played and subsequent penalty shoot out. Seven potentially will code these as separate programs.

The Seven News entry in first place is closest to the penalty shootout so it looks like about 2.5 million on average were watching the game but the penalty shoot out will rate well over the 3 million mark.

The Yorkshire Vet entry is post game coverage on 7Two while the Post Game entry in the rankings looks to be mainly for Perth’s viewing of the penalty shootout.

Not surprisingly the other networks shares were hammered. While there might have been 300k watching Vera and 135k watching the NRL, the share of the audience was very low. 10’s share is its lowest since the AO in 2022 while ABC has had many 9% shares in recent years. SBS’s share was its lowest since last Monday.

Huge figures for the Maltidas. Didn’t think they’d rate like this.

Extraordinary World Cup ratings especially for a Saturday night. Wednesday night should be equally big.

Time for a major overhaul of Nine News if this is the numbers they pull on a Saturday night against Seven News :upside_down_face:

Matildas’ match against France is now the most-watched World Cup match (men and women) on Australian TV, breaking the previous record of 2.5 million for the 2002 FIFA World Cup final between Brazil and Germany on Nine.

Having England as the Matildas’ next opponent will easily add another 400,000-500,000 viewers. The long-running sporting rivalry between the two countries means there will be extra interest.

Imagine how much higher that could’ve gone had the bulletin aired at 6pm on the main channel!

WOW.

2.5m tuning in for the match, and over 3.0m tuning in at 7pm (aest) for the extra-time/penalty shootout. And a 57.9% share. Truly amazing.

610k for the pre-game hour at 4pm is awesome too. While 162k watched the highlights show that preceded that (in Sydney anyway).

Amazing for the Matilda’s and Channel Seven

Some people will say this is just a “fad” but they are wrong because this has changed the landscape for soccer and women’s sport

This puts Nine in a spot of bother - will they reschedule the Block on Wednesday?

Mammoth ratings for the FIFA Women’s World Cup Quarter Final between Australia and France. Wednesday’s Semi-Final match between Australia and England will draw a much higher audience.

Wednesday will be insane figures. I knew so many who were watching in pubs or at parties. Wednesday there will be less of that.

Incredible. And such a positive story sweeping the country after so many years of negativity and despair. love it.

Safe to say the OzTAM record share is under very serious threat of being broken on Wednesday night and it’ll definitely be smashed if the Matildas make it into the WWC final.

Just like the Women’s State of Origin a month or two ago changed the landscape for the NRLW matches? Which have all failed to make any top 20 lists since?

There is a very big chance that Wednesday night’s match will be huge and potentially break the record books. And IF the Matildas make the Final, then it will almost certainly break the record books.

The Age article is premature and mostly inaccurate. Based on preliminary numbers and in several cases it compares metro+ regional + national to just 5-city numbers of the past.
