Update:
The Matildas’ remarkable campaign for FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ glory came to an end last night, with their Semi Final against England reaching an extraordinary 11.15 million Australians nationally.
The Australian team’s 3-1 loss to England had a national average audience on Seven and 7plus of 7.13 million, making it the most watched TV program since the OzTAM audience measurement system started in 2001. (OzTAM does not capture out-of-home viewing at live sites, pubs, clubs, stadia and so on.)
The game’s average audience of 7.13 million included a national broadcast audience of 6.17 million viewers on Seven (4.5 million in the capital cities) and another 957,000 viewers on 7plus – smashing the record for the most streaming event ever in Australia.
