NFL still down the least at 7% compared to other sports. Interesting.
According to Front Office Sports, one of golf’s big games, the U.S. Open, lost 56 percent of its viewers over 2019. Basketball suffered greatly, as well. The NBA finals were down 49 percent over last year. Tennis’ Open also cratered, losing 45 percent over 2019’s games. But the worst of all was Hockey’s Stanley Cup. The NHL’s big game lost a whopping sixty percent over the 2019 championship series.
Thus far the NFL is also cratering, being down at least seven percent over last year
NFL down 7% is massive. If you had told the owners on 1/1/2020 “hey, everything is gonna be closed next fall but you’re still gonna have content on TV” they’d have expected a 10-20% bump in ratings.
