Qatar World Cup 2022: 16m tune-in for England-Wales game
More than 16m people tuned in to watch the England football team win 3-0 against fellow home nation Wales on BBC One on Tuesday night.
The figure comes from overnight figures courtesy of rating body Barb but does not include the number who watched on Welsh language channel S4C.
The number of people who would have watched via iPlayer are not reflected in the Barb’s data figure.
England and the USA progress to the Round of 16 whilst fellow Group B teams, Wales and Iran are heading home.
England picked up seven out of nine points from the group stages, following wins over Iran and Wales, and a controversial draw against the USA.
The BBC said its match coverage across all its platforms – TV, iPlayer and BBC Sport Online – was watched by a peak audience of 18.7 million.
England’s goals came from Marcus Rashford, who scored twice, and Phil Foden – who got his first World Cup goal.
England next face Senegal on Sunday night in the Round of 16.
