Published: 13 February 2024 at 03:16

Super Bowl LVIII, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs\' victory over the San Francisco 49ers, attracted a record-setting audience of 123.4 million average viewers across all platforms, making it the most-watched telecast in history. The previous record belonged to last year\'s Super Bowl, which had 115.1 million average viewers. The game was also streamed by over 202 million viewers, and Univision averaged more than 2.2 million viewers. The massive viewership was attributed to factors like the thrilling overtime quarter, the presence of pop star Taylor Swift supporting her boyfriend on the Chiefs, and the NFL\'s ability to draw large live audiences.
