Super Bowl LVIII was watched by an average of 123.4 million viewers across CBS and Nickelodeon, with CBS leading with over 120 million viewers. The game was also the most streamed Super Bowl in history, reaching a total of 202.4 million viewers, which is a record. However, these figures may not mark the most watched telecast in American history.

The Kansas City Chiefs emerged victorious against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII, securing their back-to-back NFL championships. The game was broadcast on CBS and Nickelodeon, as well as streamed on Paramount+, with the total viewership of the game reaching 202.4 million.

According to Paramount, Super Bowl LVIII was watched by an average of 123.4 million viewers. The game marked a 7% year-over-year increase in viewership from the previous Super Bowl, and was the most streamed Super Bowl in history, led by viewership on Paramount+.

Paramount’s claim of Super Bowl LVIII as the “most-watched telecast in history” may be contested, with some sources considering the Apollo 11 Moon Landing as the most watched telecast in American history, with an estimated 125 to 150 million viewers. The total viewership for the moon landing reached 650 million globally and was broadcast on CBS, NBC, and ABC.

The Apollo 11 Moon Landing is widely recognized as the most watched telecast in American history, with estimates pointing to 125 to 150 million viewers. The event was broadcast on CBS, NBC, and ABC, with CBS leading the ratings.

The record set by Paramount for the Super Bowl is an impressive one, but other global events like royal funerals, weddings, and major sporting events may have had more global viewers. Despite NFL games setting records in viewership, it may not surpass the global viewership of other major events.
