For just the sixth time this season, the Premier League crossed the one million viewer threshold.
Last Sunday’s Manchester City-Liverpool English Premier League match scored a 0.7 final rating and 1.0 million viewers on the NBC broadcast network, up 75% in ratings and 36% in viewership from Manchester United-Tottenham on NBCSN in 2015 (0.4, 752K). There was no comparable window last year.
The 1-1 draw delivered the fifth-largest Premier League audience of the season, with each of the top five involving either Manchester City or Manchester United.
Ranking second for the week, Stoke City-Chelsea had a 0.3 (+28%) and 519,000 (+37%) on NBCSN Saturday morning.
The other five matches last weekend were each down double-digits — West Brom-Arsenal (392K, -17%), Swansea-Bournemouth (279K, -36%) and Everton-Hull City (23K, -89%) on Saturday, and Tottenham-Southampton (478K, -20%) and Middlesbrough-Manchester United (300K, -20%) on Sunday.
