Hey, here’s some news that won’t surprise any football fans out there: The NFL really crushed it on American TV in 2024. When we say crushed, we mean dominated the screen like a Patrick Mahomes 4th-quarter comeback!

NFL Owns 72 of 2024’s Top 100 Broadcasts

Of all 100 most-watched TV broadcasts in the United States this year, 72 of them were NFL games. Think about that for a second. That is to say, three-quarters of America’s top moments on television, from heart-stopping regular season games to postseason thrillers, not to mention the almighty of them all – the Super Bowl belonged to the NFL.

This is not just a win; it is total dominance. No other league, event, or program even came close. Forget award shows, political debates, or blockbuster premieres—the NFL was the undisputed champ of eyeball-grabbing.
This sent fans buzzing online. Some of them were not surprised, but others marveled at just how massive the league has become.

Why Does the NFL Keep Winning?

What is that about the NFL that guarantees millions to be glued into their screens? It’s a mix of everything. The drama begins with every game seeming like a movie script being written in real time. It involves some unexpected twists and underdog victories along with unbelievable comebacks. Then, the huge personalities on the field, such as Travis Kelce‘s charisma or Deion Sanders’ coaching flair, sum this all up to end as must-see TV.
And then there is tradition. Families gather around the TV on Sundays, Thanksgiving, and during the playoffs. It’s more than a game—it’s an event, a ritual even.

Super Bowl: The Ultimate Magnet

We cannot mention the NFL without talking about its dominance on television: the Super Bowl. It’s more than just a football game; it’s practically a national holiday. With millions tuning in for not just the action but the halftime show and the commercials, this is not so surprising given that the Super Bowl always makes the top list.

A Warning to Other Sports

These are some humbling numbers for the NBA, MLB, and even college sports. They’re doing their best to close the gap, but the NFL is playing a different game altogether. And let’s be honest: unless something revolutionary happens, that gap is not closing anytime soon.
If 2024 proved anything, it’s that the NFL is America’s favorite TV star. Whether you are a die-hard fan or just someone who turns it on for the halftime show, the league has a way of pulling you in. The NFL isn’t just the king of sports; it’s the king of entertainment. Period.
