The last time the Super Bowl aired on NBC was in 2022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Last year&#8217;s Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles on Fox still holds the record for the most-watched show of all-time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">&#8220;The Super Bowl and the NFL once again delivered a blockbuster audience across the NBC broadcast network, Peacock, and Telemundo, and provided an unprecedented lead-in to our\u00a0Primetime in Milan\u00a0coverage,&#8221;\u00a0<a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/pressbox\/press-releases\/super-bowl-lx-is-second-most-watched-all-time-with-nearly-125-million-viewers-peaking-at-all-time-u-s-record-137-8-million-viewers-across-nbc-peacock-and-telemundo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">said<\/a>\u00a0Rick Cordella, president of NBC Sports. &#8220;The Super Bowl and the Olympics are the two most powerful events in the world, and we salute our talented production, tech, and announce teams who delivered best-in-class presentations for our viewers, stations, and partners.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">The game itself wasn&#8217;t the only thing that garnered historic viewership. According to NBC, Bad Bunny&#8217;s halftime performance generated over 4 billion social views in the first 24 hours, making it the most-consumed halftime show of all time on the NFL&#8217;s social platforms. That number is also up 137 percent year over year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Bad Bunny&#8217;s success during the halftime show gave his streams a boost as well.
