The NFL proved once again in 2023 that it's king when it comes to television viewership in the United States.
NFL games accounted for 93 of the top 100 most-watched U.S. TV broadcasts last year, according to Anthony Crupi of Sportico. That number is up from 2022, when the NFL had 82 of the top 100 broadcasts, and is significantly higher than the 61 slots the league claimed just five years ago.
