Significant TV viewership numbers were recorded for Italy’s match against Belgium last night. Despite the Azzurri not securing the win, they played an excellent game, and the Italian audience demonstrated their ongoing passion for the national team. The match attracted 7,095,000 viewers with a total share of 33.5%.
These figures are notably higher than the match against France, which garnered 5,567,000 viewers with a 31.1% share. However, for Luciano Spalletti’s national team, the record remains from November 20, 2023, when 8.8 million people tuned in for the match against Ukraine.
That football and TV make a winning combination has long been established. The all-time TV viewership record in Italy was set during the 1982 World Cup final, when Italy triumphed 3-1 over West Germany. That match remains the most-watched program in the history of Italian television, with 36.7 million viewers.
