Update, 12Pm BST, August 1: A massive 17.9M people in Germany tuned in to watch their team narrowly lose the final of Women’s European Championship final to England, according to Agf viewing figures. This was nearly twice the number that saw Germany crush England 6-2 in the final of the 2009 tournament and underlines the growing popularity of the sport through Europe.
Previously: England’s near-60 year wait for a major football trophy ended last night with a record 17.5M peak audience tuning in to the BBC coverage.
The Lionesses’ 2-1 victory in the European Championships final, which included a dramatic winner in Extra Time, obliterated the previous best of 9.3M — achieved just a few day prior for England’s 4-0 semi-final win against Sweden.
The peak audience was hit at the close, as the Lionesses lifted the trophy, with almost 80 of all UK people watching TV at the time tuning in.
