The Matildas emerged victorious in their first match of this year’s highly anticipated Women’s World Cup.

  • A total of 1,237,000 metro viewers signed up to watch the game
  • The Ashes on Nine brought in 546,000 metro viewers
  • Seven and Nine dominated the ratings with a 40.3 per cent and 30.8 per cent respective audience share

It was a good night for sport last night with the World Cup and the Ashes bringing in big numbers for Seven and Nine.

A whopping 1,237,000 metro viewers signed up to watch the Matildas play their first game of the tournament. A total of 695,000 watched the post-match coverage.

Meanwhile, 546,000 watched the fourth test match of this year’s Ashes.

Both games helped Nine and Seven hold a total audience share of more than 70 per cent.

Network 10’s launch of Dogs Behaving Badly was largely overshadowed by the sporting events and brought in a viewership of 308,000 metro views.

Seven’s The Chase brought in 479,000 views and Nine’s Hot Seat had 380,000 metro views.
