Television ratings for Super Bowl LX received an upward revision from Nielsen, pushing total viewership to 125.6 million people.
Initial reports showed the Seattle Seahawks’ championship win against the New England Patriots drew 124.9 million viewers when combining audiences from NBC, Peacock, Telemundo and various digital streaming services. According to Nielsen, the adjustment became necessary after discovering that a Big Data collection company failed to properly gather viewing information from its equipment during the February 8 game.
Despite the increased numbers, Super Bowl LX remains in second place for all-time viewership, falling short of the previous year’s championship game that attracted a record-breaking 127.7 million watchers. The Seahawks’ commanding 29-13 triumph did achieve milestone status as NBC’s most-watched broadcast ever, generating a combined household rating average of 39.7.
