Description:

England’s defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final was watched by a peak audience of 23.8 million across the BBC and ITV, the highest combined audience for a television broadcast this year.

The BBC’s audience peaked at 17.8 million, while ITV’s coverage – which was praised by the Guardian’s reviewer and featured an interview with the prime minister – was watched by a peak of 6 million.

Although broadcasters will be happy with this audience, it is substantially down from the 31 million who watched England lose to Italy in the Euro 2020 final. It is also up only marginally on the audience who watched England’s semi-final against the Netherlands on Wednesday night.
