BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) — Alabama’s 41-34 victory over Georgia on Saturday night averaged 12 million viewers on ABC and ESPN’s streaming platforms, according to Nielsen.
It was the most-watched regular season prime-time game since 2017, when Alabama-Florida State on the season’s opening weekend averaged 12.3 million. It was also ESPN’s most-streamed regular-season game.
Nielsen reported the audience peaked at 14.1 million from 11:15-11:30 p.m. EDT, when Alabama was holding off a second-half rally by Georgia. The Crimson Tide’s Ryan Williams caught a 75-yard touchdown pass from Jalen Milroe with 2:18 remaining, and Georgia was driving for a potential game-tying touchdown before Zabien Brown intercepted Carson Beck’s pass in the end zone.
The win vaulted Alabama from No. 4 to No. 1 in the AP Top 25, while Georgia dropped from second to fifth.
This is the first year ESPN and ABC have the entire Southeastern Conference football package.
