England's dramatic 3-2 World Cup victory over Mexico at the Estadio Azteca is on course to become the highest-rated telecast in US Spanish-language television history. Broadcast on the NBCUniversal-owned network Telemundo, the match drew a preliminary total audience of 23.1 million, surpassing Mexico's win over Ecuador the previous week, which reached 18.9 million. The figures underline the surging popularity of the 2026 World Cup among US audiences.
The total audience figure includes streaming on Telemundo's sister platform Peacock, but the linear numbers were also striking: 9.4 million watched across the three-hour telecast, ahead of the 8.7 million for the Ecuador game, while a 13 million average-minute audience puts it on track to be the most-streamed Spanish-language football match in US history. On the pitch, Jude Bellingham scored twice before Julián Quiñones pulled one back for the co-hosts. After Jarrell Quansah was sent off, Harry Kane converted a penalty, though Raúl Jiménez replied from the spot as England held on with 10 men for nearly half an hour. The match had been delayed by thunderstorms.
- England's 3-2 win over Mexico drew a preliminary 23.1 million on Telemundo.
- It is set to be Spanish-language US TV's highest-rated telecast ever.
- Bellingham scored twice; England held on with 10 men.
