NEW YORK (AP) — Recent Nielsen data shows an uptick in Super Bowl viewership, averaging 125.6 million viewers for the February 8 game.
This figure reflects an increase of 700,000 from the initially reported 124.9 million after its release on February 10.
Nielsen explained this revision was due to a Big Data provider’s failure to accurately collect information from its devices during the game. Their updated methodology, adopted last September, now applies to all televised events.
The game aired on multiple platforms, including NBC, Peacock, Telemundo, NBC Sports Digital, and NFL+.
However, this number is still below last year’s impressive 127.7 million U.S. viewers who watched Philadelphia’s 40-22 triumph over Kansas City on Fox.
