While the end results of Super Bowl LIX may not have been what Chiefs fans would have liked, things worked out pretty well for FOX. According to the network, Super Bowl LIX amassed the highest viewership total ever at 127.7 million viewers in the United States. This would eclipse last year’s number of 123.7 million for Super Bowl LVIII on CBS, Paramount+, Nickelodeon, Univision, and affiliated digital platforms like NFL+.
“The power the NFL has to bring people together was on full display Sunday night and FOX Sports was honored to showcase every moment for football fans across America,” Eric Shanks, chief executive officer and executive producer of FOX Sports, said in a statement. “From the heart of New Orleans on Bourbon Street, to telling moving stories throughout the broadcast and finally presenting an unmatched game production, we couldn’t be prouder to show that FOX is Football with a Super Bowl viewing audience for the record books."
