Notre Dame Game Shatters Viewership Records | Wisconsin Badgers Football News

Wisconsin vs. Notre Dame drew record-breaking viewership despite the loss, peaking at 9.7 million during the second quarter — the largest audience ever for a Notre Dame game on NBC. The game averaged 8.1 million, ranking as the third-most-watched Notre Dame contest since 2005 and the top-rated college football game of the weekend across all networks. It also marked NBC’s biggest Notre Dame broadcast yet against an unranked opponent, with an 87% jump from last year’s opener. Only two previous games — against No. 1 Clemson (2020) and No. 6 Ohio State (2023) — drew larger audiences since 2005. While the scoreboard didn’t favor the Badgers, the broadcast stats prove college football’s massive pull — even when the outcome’s uncertain.
