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.

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.

If the score had been a bit closer, it could have cracked 5 million.

Actually, I know a couple of people who tried to watch it on their phones last night but couldn’t connect.

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.

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.

I think going to extra time and penalties would have made a even bigger difference.

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.
