How many people watched the UFL championship live, and how does the viewership compare to XFL? Exploring the stats

It's time to take into account how the UFL fared in terms of viewership in 2024 now that the Birmingham Stallions have won the UFL Championship. When compared to the USFL and XFL from the previous season, the stats are quite encouraging.

The inaugural UFL season, which resulted from the merging of the former XFL and USFL, concluded on a high note on Sunday when the Stallions defeated the San Antonio Brahmas 25-0. The game broke the previous mark for most viewed spring football championship contest since the XFL's inaugural championship game in 2001 with an average of 1.6 million viewers.

The fact that the UFL championship attracted a substantial 38% more viewers than the USFL title game (1.16 million) and 11% more than the XFL Championship (1.44 million) last year is also notable.

The United Football League averaged 850,000 viewers per game during its inaugural season. Comparatively, last season's average viewership for the USFL and XFL across all networks was 635,000.

UFL broadcasts averaged 832,000 viewers across broadcast TVs and cable going into last weekend's championship game between the Stallions and Brahmas. This was a 34% increase over last year's average for all USFL and XFL games through the playoffs.

The UFL's chief of football operations, Daryl Johnston, said that the football organization will be more adept at scheduling games based on events occurring in both its home markets and other sports around the country.
