XFL Intrigues OOH Viewers By Paul Lindstrom, Head of Research & Analytics

The new-look XFL has made a comeback and OOH viewers have been intrigued. The eight-team league airs two games every Saturday and Sunday across ABC, ESPN, and FOX networks for the duration of its 10-week season, and so far so good. Four of the top five most-watched games among OOH viewers were Week 1 games, but that was to be expected. Although OOH audiences have dipped since, they are still holding strong as they are comparable to EPL soccer games, midday Saturday college basketball games and even non-Laker NBA games. The twelve XFL games through Week 3 have averaged an OOH audience of 320k per game. Below are the OOH audiences for every XFL game through Week 3:
