The most popular sports on TV ๐บ We used data from Playfly Sports and Nielsen to track month-by-month viewership across every major league, local and national combined. Some things we found ๐ฆ๐ง NFL and college football dominate the fall and winter ๐ฉ March Madness has the highest non-football audience in a single month ๐ฅ๐ฆ MLB and NBA are neck and neck, with almost identical playoff spikes. ๐
November was the month with the largest total audience and July was the lowest What stands out to you? ๐Notes 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 itโs multiple sports and hard to delineate #sportsball #datastorytelling #viewership #nba #mlb #nfl #cfb
