The performances of the ÖFB eleven have brought top ratings to the Salzburg private broadcaster. All three of the Austrians’ games easily exceeded the million mark. The game against the Netherlands on Tuesday evening was the most watched so far, with an average of 1.74 million viewers (67.5 percent market share).

The first match of the Austrian national team against France came in just behind with 1.66 million viewers (53.8 percent market share). The match against Poland was watched by an average of 1.3 million people (60 percent market share) on ServusTV. The private broadcaster will also show the Austrians’ round of 16 match next Tuesday (July 2nd) – another top rating is therefore foreseeable.
Great interest in EM
Even outside of the Austrian national team’s games, there is great interest in the European Championship in Germany. For example, ServusTV recorded an average of 746,000 viewers for the opening game between Germany and Scotland. The second half of Croatia against Italy was watched by an average of 859,000 people.
