Liverpool has become accustomed to setting records under jurgen klopp, and the reds set another record at the weekend, bolstering their popularity in the united states. The top-of-the-table match against arsenal at anfield last saturday was the most-watched premier league game in the united states by english language viewers. On nbc, peacock, and nbc sports digital platforms, 1.96 million viewers tuned in for the game, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
Telemundo, a nbc-owned spanish-language television station in america, attracted an additional 3280,000 viewers. It beat arsenal’s record of 1.92 million in january, which was surpassed by the previous record of 1.92 million. Liverpool’s goalless draw with united earlier this month is the third on the list, with the top five most-watched games in history all coming this year. However, taking into account statistics from telemundo, the most watched premier league game in the united states in all languages remains the 2.31 million that tuned in for the arsenal-united match at the start of the year. Liverpool’s match against united at anfield on a fortnight ago was the most watched game in the united states this season, just a few weeks before their draw with arsenal.
For the past decade, nbc has held the rights to premier league games in the united states. Liverpool, which is owned by boston-based fenway sports group, hasn’t visited the united states since 2019, but a return to america is being considered as a good idea for their tour next summer.
