An average of 98.19 million people tuned in to CBS (100.7 million viewers including ESPN Deportes and streaming) for the lowest-scoring game in Super Bowl history a year ago.

The Super Bowl rating of 41.6 is up from the 2019 rating of 41.1. Sunday’s contest became the 10th most-watched game in history.

More people watched the 2015 Super Bowl than any other contest in NFL history. An average of 114.4 million viewers watched the Patriots beat the Seattle Seahawks on NBC in arguably the greatest Super Bowl of all time.
