This milestone is significant, not just for the World Cup, but for English-language U.S. TV as a whole, marking the most-watched semifinals game ever.

This achievement speaks to the enduring popularity of the World Cup, which has consistently delivered massive audiences for its broadcasters. Fox's broadcast of the match clearly resonated with U.S. viewers, likely due to the excitement of the tournament's knockout stage and the strong followings of the competing teams. The record-breaking audience also underscores the growing appetite for soccer in the United States, where interest in the sport has been steadily increasing over the past few years.

As the World Cup continues to break records, all eyes will be on the tournament's final match. With viewership numbers expected to remain high, it's worth watching how Fox's coverage of the championship game performs. Will the World Cup final be able to surpass the ratings of previous high-profile matches, such as the 2015 Women's World Cup final, which drew 22.3 million viewers on Fox? The answer will provide valuable insight into the World Cup's continued growth and popularity in the U.S. market.
