According to Nielsen data mentioned by Messenger, 23 million people streamed the Chiefs’ 26-7 victory on Peacock, NFL+, and NBC affiliates in Kansas City and Miami. In total, 27.6 million people watched the game. Moreover, this marked the first NFL playoff game for which viewers had to pay.
Making history as the NFL’s first pay-per-view playoff game, fans had to fork over at least $5.99 for a Peacock subscription to join the action. Despite complaints about the cost, the game surpassed the previous viewership record (15.3 million) set on Amazon Prime Video, showcasing its undeniable popularity. Additionally, it drew larger crowds than the Saturday night wild-card playoff games that NBC aired for two of the previous three years.
NBCUniversal reportedly paid a hefty sum to acquire streaming rights
NBCUniversal reportedly paid $110 million for the game’s rights. And why? It was an unstoppable spectacle because of the fierce game between the best teams and, of course, Taylor Swift’s attendance at the stadium.
