For comparison, Miami’s season opener last year against Florida drew 6.6 million viewers on ABC.
This weekend, the Hurricanes return to action against Bethune-Cookman in a game that will stream exclusively on ESPN+. While the broadcast likely won’t come close to Sunday’s massive audience, it will be interesting to see how the streaming numbers stack up against other early-season matchups.
Elsewhere in week one, the game between No. 3 Ohio State and No. 1 Texas led the charts with 16.6 million viewers, making it the most-watched game of the opening weekend.
