The 2026 viewership figures represent a decrease from the previous year, when 127.7 million watched the NFL Super Bowl final.
This year's winner was Seattle, who beat New England 29–13 on February 8. A few days after the game, Nielsen released its first viewership figures, which have since been adjusted up by approximately 700,000.
The figure of 125.6 million is an average for the entire event, as viewership is estimated to have fluctuated during the broadcast.
