Don't know how much of a difference in countries anymore. I believe the Super Bowl has viewers in close to 200 countries (5 years old info says available in 180 countries).

But there are of course plenty of factors  to compare. Just looked at viewer numbers as it's really the easiest one.

I meant a 'decent' number if countries, whatever 'decent' may be. I think for the Super Bowl a huge amount of countries have viewers as well of course, but in most of those countries it's probably only a rather low number of diehards compared to the Champions League final.

That could very well be true. Numbers outside USA is usually estimated at about 50 millions. Canada takes up about 10 % of that. (they have even been at 9,5 millions, but lately it's been about 4,5). I would guess that it's decently high in Mexico as well. 

In Denmark it's about 100.000 (slightly higher last year, just below the year before that) which is pretty good in the middle of the night.

Wouldn't be surprised if the 10 largest markets outside USA takes up half the viewers meaning a lot of small portions.

Not planning on following it, but it actually sounds like they've learned some lessons from earlier failed attempts (like last year's lovely AAF  )

Only time will tell if it will work out.

Now I'm rather curious which annual sport event(s) is/are that much bigger

Like mentioned above, UEFA Champions League final (170 million) draws more viewers annually than Super Bowl (ca. 160 million worldwide). However I've read the Indian Cricket League final draws even 200 million viewers (can't say much about it since I don't watch cricket).

 

FIFA World Cup final draws over 550 million viewers globally but that's obviously once every four years.

Where do you get the 170 million? Haven't been able to find official numbers other than 2014 saying 180, but several other sites mention numbers in the 3 or 400s. I'm aware that there are many ways of counting, but that's a big difference. Articles without sources are always questionable but it's an extremely inflated number if they say double the amount that actually watched.

Correct, the Liverpool-Tottenham final was a 6-year low for these UCL games, The 2018 final Real Madrid vs Liverpool drew 480 million which makes it a slam dunk in these rankings.

Super Bowl numbers from this year? It's 8:00 am on the West Coast there, it's a 9-to-5 working day in USA so they're still drinking coffee there

 

Btw, I found reports there was 180k SB viewers in Italy and 34k in the Netherlands ( @heywoodu )

My bad. Did of course mean last year's Chl

[Agger 1,664]

Danish TV figures are at 89k. That's low. But people streaming should take it up to about 100k, I believe.
