Champions league final viewership reaches 9.1 million, a slight decrease from previous year

The total audience for this year’s Champions League final saw a modest decline compared to the previous season. This dip occurred despite the match being broadcast at an earlier time than usual and coinciding with French tennis player Moïse Kouamé’s match at Roland Garros.

An average of 9.1 million viewers tuned in on Saturday, May 30, across M6 and Canal+ channels to witness Paris Saint-Germain secure their second consecutive victory in the football Champions League. While still a significant number, the overall viewership was lower than the previous year. This reduction in total audience figures was primarily attributed to a decrease in M6’s viewership share during the broadcast.
