Euro viewership on SonyLIV overtakes FIFA World Cup 2018
Even before the final kick-off, Euro has already outdone the FIFA World Cup 2018 views on SonyLIV.
With a total of 14 million hours of streaming, the engagement level of users has increased ever since the first match on June 11, 2021.
Making the tournament an unprecedented hit, the platform garnered a rise in viewership with matches like Portugal vs Germany, followed by Croatia vs Spain, France vs Switzerland, and England vs Germany from the playoff stage (Round of 16).
“Euro 2020 has been a crowd-puller on SonyLIV and is being viewed across more than 400 cities in India. The platform has recorded significantly higher viewership from football loving States like West Bengal, the North-East, Kerala and Goa. Also, the streaming of the matches in six different languages has seen encouraging traction in smaller non-metro cities. The uptake of subscriptions in non-metros has doubled that of metro cities,” the company said in a press release.
