That\u2019s off by about 7 percent from the 9.27 million viewers for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/tv\/tv-news\/2025-golden-globes-ratings-rise-1236098645\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2025 Globes<\/a> (CBS, which was in a contract dispute with Nielsen a year ago, cited 10.1 million viewers for last year\u2019s telecast from VideoAmp).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tSunday\u2019s show also marked the second straight small decline for the Globes. The awards\u2019 first year on CBS in 2024 drew 9.47 million viewers, which dipped to 9.27 million last year. Last year\u2019s number does not include the big data component of the ratings, which Nielsen rolled out across its products at the start of the 2025-26 season. (All three of CBS\u2019 broadcasts have come in above the final two years of the Globes\u2019 run on NBC.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tUnlike the past two years, CBS did not have a late-afternoon NFL game serving as a lead-in for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/t\/golden-globes\/\" id=\"auto-tag_golden-globes_1\" data-tag=\"golden-globes\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Golden Globes<\/a>. The awards aired opposite a wild card playoff game on NBC that drew nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/tv\/tv-news\/amazon-nfl-wild-card-streaming-viewer-record-1236472999\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">29 million<\/a> cross-platform viewers. Last year\u2019s awards ran against the NFL\u2019s regular season finale, which had a similar all-in audience of about 28.5 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tOn the plus side, the Globes had a larger social media footprint compare to last year: The show had 42 million social interactions, up 5 percent year to year to its highest level ever. Host Nikki Glaser\u2019s opening monologue drew some 14 million views across social platforms in the 36 hours after the awards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tEntertainment Tonight\u2019s red carpet show preceding the awards drew 3.4 million viewers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tGolden Globes producer Dick Clark Productions is owned by Penske Media Eldridge, a joint venture between Penske Media Corporation and Eldridge that also owns\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The audience for the 2026 Golden Globes fell off a bit year to year.
