Super Bowl LX Viewership and Bad Bunny Halftime Show Ratings

Why this matters: Super Bowl viewership is a key indicator of the NFL's popularity and advertising revenue. The large viewership numbers also provide a platform for cultural moments, like the halftime show, to reach a massive audience.

Super Bowl LX saw the Seattle Seahawks defeat the New England Patriots. The game's viewership numbers, while impressive, did not surpass the previous year's record. Nielsen's new Big Data + Panel measurement methodology was used for the first time, providing more accurate TV measurement.

The halftime show, headlined by Bad Bunny, drew a significant audience, though it ranked fourth in terms of viewership compared to previous halftime performances. Social media consumption of the halftime show set a record with 4 billion views in the first 24 hours, a 137% increase over the previous year. Over 55% of these social views came from international markets, demonstrating the global appeal of the Super Bowl and its halftime entertainment.

NBC's 'Primetime in Milan' Olympic show, which aired after the Super Bowl, benefited from the lead-in, averaging 42 million viewers, marking the network's largest Winter Olympics audience since the 2014 Sochi Games.

An estimated 124.9 million viewers watched Super Bowl LX across various platforms.
