Can you name the team from the least-populated metro area? Find the answer in last year’s America Counts Super Bowl article.

Over 123 million people in the United States tuned in to watch last year’s game, a record for Super Bowl viewership and the most popular television program in American history.

According to Census Bureau data, the estimated resident population of the United States was 338,740,353 in February 2024. That means approximately 36% — more than one third — of the U.S. population watched the Big Game.

Super Bowl viewership has fluctuated over the years but increased by about 26% from 2021 to 2024, while the U.S. resident population increased steadily year over year. Interestingly the trends in annual percentage change in Super Bowl viewership and annual U.S. population change are similar, though there may not be a direct correlation.
