US-Belgium World Cup match sets US TV record
The United States' Round of 16 match against Belgium at the 2026 FIFA World Cup became the most-watched soccer telecast in US history.
The Associated Press reported Tuesday, citing Fox Sports, that the match averaged about 30 million viewers in the US, the largest audience ever for a soccer broadcast in the country.
Belgium's 4-1 win over the US on Monday in Seattle eliminated the last remaining co-host from the tournament after Canada and Mexico had already exited in the Round of 16.
