For the first time, the final of the Supercopa will be seen openly in the United States
125 million households will be able to follow Real Madrid – FC Barcelona live, in the first Spanish football Clásico broadcast openly in the country
The Super Cup final that Real Madrid and FC Barcelona will play on Sunday will be the first Spanish soccer clásico that can be seen on free-to-air television in the United States. The ABC channel will send the signal to 125 million homes throughout the country, with retransmission in English; a figure that is added to the cable broadcast that will be made, in this case in Spanish, by ESPN Plus and ESPN Deportes, with a potential audience of more than 100 million people.
The Supercopa, thus, makes history again in terms of its media coverage. The interest generated by this competition, with the exciting final four format that is experiencing its fourth season, is clear from the fact that more than 150 countries are awaiting developments in the tournament. They are now joined by free-to-air television in the United States, which alone represents a simply astronomical potential number of viewers.
More than 200 journalists, both Spanish and international, with their work provide worldwide coverage that accounts for the renewed interest in this competition.
