Quick Glance: Women's NCAA Title Game Shines with Record Viewership
- South Carolina’s victory of 87-75 over Caitlin Clark and Iowa in the women’s NCAA championship game marks a historic moment. For the first time, the women's game surpassed the men's title game, achieving the second-highest viewership for a non-Olympic women's sporting event on U.S. television.
- The viewership for the Sunday afternoon game, which awarded the Gamecocks their fourth national title and denied Clark's Hawkeyes their first, peaked at 24.1 million during the final 15 minutes. Nielsen's figures include an estimate of individuals watching outside their homes, a metric not previously accounted for before 2020.
- The audience for the national title game increased by 90% compared to the previous year when Clark and Iowa faced off against LSU. Moreover, this was the inaugural occurrence since 1995 of the championship being broadcast on network television.
- During the Final Four, Clark emphasized the positive impact of audience growth on all women's sports, not solely basketball. Fox broadcasted 14 women's games this season, including three in prime time, NBC featured two, and CBS televised the Big Ten tournament championship. ABC presented five regular-season games and nine during the NCAA Tournament.
