The victory of Spain against Saudi Arabia in the World Cup has become the great television phenomenon of the year. The match broadcast by La 1 registered a spectacular 55.9% audience share, becoming the most watched broadcast of 2026, surpassing the broadcast of its debut.
The match gathered an average of 7.9 million viewers, an extraordinary figure that confirms the enormous appeal of the version of the Spanish National Team that best represents us when competing in a major international event.
The anticipation was even greater if the accumulated audience is taken into account. More than 11.3 million people connected at some point with the broadcast of the World Cup match.
RTVE thus once again demonstrates the capacity of live sports to mobilize audiences and turn La 1 into the center of national television conversation.
