The most popular sports on TV 📺

We used data from playflysports  and nielsenmedia to track month-by-month viewership across every major league, local and national combined. Some things we found

🟦🟧 NFL and college football dominate the fall and winter

🟩 March Madness has the highest non-football audience in a single month

🟥🟦 MLB and NBA are neck and neck, with almost identical playoff spikes.

📅 November was the month with the largest total audience and July was the lowest

What stands out to you?

📊Notes on the data: GRPs (Gross Rating Points) measure total audience size across time, not just how many people watched, but how often. The data includes both regional and national TV broadcasts. Streaming viewership is not included. Olympics not included as it covers multiple sports and is sporadic in timing
