The U.S. telecasts of this summer’s World Cup games are drawing a record number of viewers. Fox Sports, which broadcasts the games in English, reports an average of 5 million viewers per match across 72 group stage matches. And Telemundo says nearly half of all World Cup viewers in the country are watching its Spanish language coverage.<\/p>

Wednesday night, fans celebrated as the U.S. men’s national soccer team knocked out Bosnia Herzegovina’s team two-nil during the latest round of the , as it’s known in Spanish.<\/p>

At Caf\u00e9 Brasil in Culver City, California, Giselle Rosas and her mother Graciela Reyes, who were both born in Mexico, cheered for the U.S. team, along with Telemundo’s famously exuberant announcer Andr\u00e9s Cantor.<\/p>\n

“That’s the best part for everybody,” Reyes said, imitating Cantor’s long “Goooooool” calls.<\/p>

Rosas noted the growing popularity of soccer in the U.S. “thanks to immigrants,” and she said it’s more fun to watch the World Cup in Spanish.<\/p>

“A million percent. We like the excitement,” said Rosas, “the feeling, the sentiment, the ambience, it’s a night and day difference.”<\/p>\n

That kind of passion, to date, has translated to an average of 4.6 million World Cup viewers of Spanish-language sportscasts on Telemundo and Peacock streaming services per match, according to NBCUniversal.<\/p>

“This is the most watched World Cup ever in Spanish language in this country. The numbers are just mind blowing, really,” says Miguel Lorenzo, a senior vice president at Telemundo Deportes.<\/p>

“Basically, half of the country of the United States is watching the World Cup in Spanish on Telemundo. But we also know that only 20% of the U.S. population is Hispanic,” says Lorenzo. “We’re seeing audiences that are bilingual, that are Spanish dominant, that speak English enjoying World Cup coverage.”<\/p>

According to Nielsen ratings, 20% of Telemundo’s World Cup viewers speak English as their primary language. And overall, Lorenzo says the viewership on its telecasts has increased by 122% since the 2022 World Cup Games.<\/p>\n\n

He says excitement has been highest for the winning matches by Mexico and the U.S., and the network’s social media platforms have surpassed a record-breaking one billion views.<\/p>

“I can’t tell you how many comments I’ve seen where people are saying, ‘I don’t speak a lick of Spanish, but I want to watch it on Telemundo because it just sounds more exciting. And maybe by the end of the World Cup, I’ll learn Spanish,'” Lorenzo says. “Joy and excitement and drama: it’s language agnostic, it’s universal.”<\/p>

Unlike Fox, which runs commercials during hydration breaks for the players, Telemundo keeps its cameras on the field. That’s something very much appreciated by fans like comedian Trevor Noah.<\/p>

“We’re seeing the players on the pitch discussing what’s happening. You see which coach is more stressed\u2026This is part of the game,” Noah said during one of the World Cup parties he hosts on his channel. “When you cut to ads, you lose the stress, you lose the joy, the anticipation. So shout out again, Telemundo: Really, really amazing coverage.”<\/p>
