The US Women’s National Team’s popularity, it turns out, translates to viewership.

The Women’s World Cup final, featuring the USWNT and the Netherlands , drew a 10.0 overnight rating, per Variety , beating out the 2018 men’s final, which had an 8.3 rating. Though it’s unlikely to beat out the 2015 final — which was played in prime time and had a record 25.4 million viewers — the number is still massive.

Globally, the Women’s World Cup did strong numbers as well. Per The Hollywood Reporter, 88 percent of the Dutch viewing public watched Sunday’s final, and host nation France had nearly 6 million viewers. In England, the semifinal between the British and the Americans was the most-watched program in the country in 2019.

For a sport that wants to grow, those numbers are deeply encouraging, as is ESPN’s decision to pick up 14 National Women’s Soccer League games, in hopes of capitalizing on the momentum.

Riding the wave to sustained popularity is a different matter, but things seem to be trending upward.
