The Spanish National Team started its World Cup participation in style, more in terms of audience than in terms of play.
The match between Spain and Cape Verde, broadcast by La 1, became the most watched broadcast of the year on television by gathering an average of 7,322,000 viewers and reaching a spectacular 60.4% audience share.
The match absolutely dominated the day's television consumption and became the most watched content of 2026 to date. In addition, more than 11.2 million viewers tuned in at some point to the broadcast of 'La Roja's' debut.
RTVE's commitment to the World Cup once again demonstrated the enormous pulling power of the national team in major sporting events. The broadcast concentrated more than half of the audience that was watching television at that moment, becoming a mass phenomenon.
With these data, La 1 signs one of its best days of the year and consolidates the World Cup as one of the great audience drivers of the television season.
