Super Bowl XLIX was a thriller. In the aftermath, and on the heels of record-setting overnight ratings, nobody can be surprised it also smashed the viewership record, averaging with 114.4 million viewers.
That easily surpassed the previous record of 112.91 million for last year’s Seahawks-Broncos matchup.
The 47.5 household rating wasn’t a record, but was the best rating in 30 years and 4th best overall for the Super Bowl.
The halftime show was the most-watched, highest rated halftime show ever averaging 118.5 million viewers (more than 3 million viewers more than Bruno Mars averaged last year) and a 48.2 household rating.
Note: Minor (less than 1%) adjustments to these numbers between now and Tuesday morning aren’t unheard of. It happened last year.
