Record viewing figures for Women’s Euro 2022 tournament, reveals UEFA

The number of people watching this year`s Women`s European Championship is a record for the tournament and 58% higher than for the previous edition, UEFA said on Tuesday. The previous cumulative total audience record of 164 million viewers in 2017 was surpassed following England`s 2-1 victory over Spain in the quarter-finals on July 20.

"These excellent TV viewing figures show the massive appeal of the tournament, as well as the strong development of women’s football in the last years," Guy-Laurent Epstein, UEFA marketing director, said. "We are engaging more neutral fans and seeing exceptional growth as this edition of the tournament continues to break TV viewing records."
