Unrivaled Viewership - Georgia Bulldogs Dominate the Nielsen

Georgia's Spectacular 2024 Season

The Georgia Bulldogs averaged an astonishing 8.6 million viewers per game in 2024. This figure was significantly higher than that of the Ohio State Buckeyes, which ranked second with 6.8 million viewers. The Alabama Crimson Tide came in third with 6.6 million viewers per game, followed by the Texas Longhorns with 6.4 million and the Tennessee Volunteers with 5.4 million. These numbers clearly showcase Georgia's dominance on the field and in the ratings.

Georgia's marquee matchups were a major contributor to these high numbers. When Alabama and Texas hosted the Bulldogs, the ratings were boosted. The SEC championship game, where Georgia defeated Texas, was a sight to behold. It drew a staggering 16.6 million viewers, with peaks reaching 19.7 million viewers. This made it the most-watched all Power Four conference championship, leaving other conferences in the dust.

Notable Games of the Season

Other standout games during the 2024 season included Georgia's October victory at Texas. This game garnered 13 million viewers, demonstrating the Bulldogs' ability to captivate audiences even on the road. Additionally, their late September loss at Alabama was also a highly watched event, with 12 million fans tuning in. These games added to Georgia's already impressive reputation and further solidified their status as a dominant football force.

The Bulldogs' 2025 schedule was dropped on Wednesday night, and it promises to be just as exciting. There are plenty of marquee matchups for the Bulldogs next season, especially at home. Fans can look forward to more thrilling games and continued dominance on the field.
