Less than 200k, but we can’t post the figure here. You can see the exact figure on TVtonight.
68,000 is the smallest ever pay TV audience in the show’s history. Two episodes in April this year both rated 88,000.
Great, thanks!
Wow. Knew that the ratings would be big but that is incredible.

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.
Wow. Almost a million on 7plus. That is bonkers.
Wow. Almost a million on 7plus. That is bonkers.
And it didn’t fall over - impressive and the way it should work
Nine executives would never have imagined the BVOD live streaming record held by this year’s State of Origin only stood for a month.
Worth noting that despite last night’s game having almost double the audience of the 2022 AO on Nine Seven’s share was less than 2 points higher than Nine’s showing how the total audience on a weekday is a lot higher than on Saturdays.
As an aside, I know it’s a home World Cup but Soccer can claim to be the national game with these ratings. A
This comment could be what Aristotle was referring to when he said “one swallow does not a summer make”
The 4.5 million preliminary number is likely to be close to the final result as Seven ran very close to the advertised and EPG times last night.
If the score had been a bit closer, it could have cracked 5 million.
And it didn’t fall over - impressive and the way it should work
Actually, I know a couple of people who tried to watch it on their phones last night but couldn’t connect.
Speechless
–
It is however, as touched on by Cynic, a bit surprising Seven’s shares weren’t much higher, like 75% or 85%… Not just not being a Saturday, but Nine’s news, ACA, Block in markets it aired, ABC’s Gruen all had what I’d call (all things considered) pretty solid results. Anyway, hard to find any real negatives for Seven, let’s be honest.
Of all the days, I’m surprised Nine News Melbourne won
And Nine News Sydney won too.
I’m surprised, even I watched Seven News last night on the assumption that they would have better/ more Matildas coverage as the FTA broadcaster.
If the score had been a bit closer, it could have cracked 5 million.
I think going to extra time and penalties would have made a even bigger difference.
Did 9 ever get the chance to get rights for this soccer?
I’m glad they didn’t… I would love to see 10 get some BIG events, but I’m not holding my breath for that.
The game had a 249k average for Optus Sport streaming according to a FIFA Media Release
