What you need to know:
- The Super Bowl is annually the most watched U.S. telecast of the year. In fact, 19 of the top 20 most-viewed telecasts in national history are Super Bowls, the lone exception being the final episode of the sitcom "M*A*S*H," which drew 105.9 million viewers in 1983.
- Until this year's official numbers come out, No. 1 on the list is last year's Super Bowl, and No. 2 is the Super Bowl from February 2023, when 115 million saw the Chiefs edge the Eagles 38-35 in Glendale, Ariz.
Despite the Super Bowl being a blowout, an average of 126 million U.S. viewers tuned in to see the Philadelphia Eagles thrash the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 on Sunday, according to estimates Monday from Fox Sports.
The game in New Orleans was available for viewing on Fox, Telemundo, Fox Deportes, Tubi and the NFL digital's channels.
