England’s Women’s Euro 2022 final victory breaks TV viewing record

England’s historic win over Germany in the Women’s Euro 2022 final at a sold-out Wembley Stadium yesterday pulled in a peak TV audience of 17.4 million on BBC One, making it the most-watched women’s football game on UK television of all-time and the most-watched programme of 2022 so far.

Across BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website and app there were 5.9 million streams as audiences witnessed goals from Ella Toone and an extra-time winner from Chloe Kelly, as the Lionesses claimed victory in a major international tournament for England for the first time since 1966.

BBC Director-General, Tim Davie says: “We are incredibly proud to have championed women’s football and are thrilled we were able to bring such a special sporting moment to the public. This was the most-watched women’s football game on UK television of all-time and the most-watched programme in 2022 so far - and deservedly so. Everyone at the BBC is delighted at the win and being able to share that with the public.”

The Lionesses will commemorate their Women’s Euro triumph at a fan celebration at Trafalgar Square, London today. Tune into BBC One from 12.35pm to see the celebration hosted by BBC Sport presenter and former England legend, Alex Scott
