Anyone questioning the popularity of women’s sport is going to be a little red-faced today with more than 3.56 million total TV viewers signing up to watch the Matildas beat Denmark yesterday.

Highlights

  • Australia vs Denmark is the most-watched TV event of the year
  • A whopping 2,294,000 metro viewers signed up to watch the game 
  • Seven won the night with a whopping 54.5% audience share

A total of 2,294,000  metro viewers watched the game. Combined with the 885,000 regional viewers and 385,000 viewers who watched the game on 7plus this led to the total figure of 3,560,000.
