ESPN’s College Football Playoff National Championship (Jan. 13, 8 p.m.) audience has now vaulted north of 27.3 million viewers and the College Football Playoff Semifinals (Dec. 28, 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.) now have an average audience of 21.5 million viewers, as full Nielsen reporting is available — including newly reported out of home viewing and additional streaming audiences.
The final Nielsen reporting further increases the year-over-year audience gains of LSU-Clemson’s CFP National Championship over last season’s contest, while also solidifying this season’s CFP Semifinals as the most-watched non-New Year’s Day Semifinals in the CFP era.
