It would also be a slight increase over the 112.3 million average for last year’s Super Bowl

The Kansas City Chiefs’ 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl LVII is on pace to become the third most-watched television show in history, with an estimated 113 million people watching, according to preliminary numbers released.

The 2015 game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks on NBC holds the record at 114,442,000 viewers (not including streaming), followed by Super Bowl 51 in 2017 on Fox between Atlanta Falcons and New England (113,668,000).

That means two of the top three most-watched Super Bowls in history have taken place in Arizona: Super Bowl XLIX in 2015 and Super Bowl LVII on Sunday.

Fox announced the audience estimate includes the broadcasts on Fox and Fox Deportes as well as streaming on Fox and the NFL’s digital sites.

The figures are via Nielsen’s Fast National data and Adobe Analytics.

This was Fox’s 10th Super Bowl since it began airing NFL games in 1994 and the second most-watched program in Fox Sports history.

It would also be a slight increase over the 112.3 million average for last year’s Super Bowl.

The Los Angeles Rams’ victory over the Cincinnati Bengals was broadcast by NBC and Telemundo and streamed on Peacock and NFL digital sites.

This year’s digital feed averaged a Super Bowl-record 7 million streams, an 18% increase over last year (6 million) and more than double Fox’s last Super Bowl in 2020 (3.4 million), according to Adobe Analytics
