The dip in the ratings for Super Bowl LX wasn’t as big as initially believed.
Nielsen has revised the final viewership for the Patriots-Seahawks championship game across NBC, Peacock, Telemundo, NBC Sports Digital, and NFL+ from [124.9 million](https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/super-bowl-lx-sees-audience-dip-to-124-9-million) to 125.6 million. It’s an increase of 700,000 viewers.
“This update is due to the fact that a Big Data provider did not properly collect data from its devices on February 8, which impacted the Big Data + Panel count,” Nielsen said in a press release.
Super Bowl LIX averaged 127.7 million. That number didn’t include Nielsen’s new metric for measuring out-of-home viewership.
It’s still the second-biggest audience in U.S. TV history. The top 12 are Super Bowls; the final episode of M\*A\*S\*H is the only top-20 show of all time that isn’t a Super Bowl.
