US‑Belgium World Cup Match Draws 42 Million Viewers

Fox and Telemundo reported that 30 million viewers watched the U.S. match on Fox, while 12 million tuned into the Spanish‑language version on Telemundo and Peacock, bringing the total audience to an average of 42 million.

The figure surpasses the 39.2 million average for the NFL’s January 2026 divisional round, but the U.S. team’s early exit may dampen viewership in later stages. Still, the match confirms soccer’s growing mainstream status in the United States. sweetbonanza.qpon
