Women football players claim top earnings once more - Female soccer players regain supremacy on the pitch
In the realm of German television, last week's highly anticipated Euro 2025 quarterfinals football match between Germany and France took centre stage, capturing the attention of a staggering 10 million viewers. The match, broadcast by ZDF, dominated the ratings, securing a 52.2% market share.
The match's success overshadowed the late-night rerun of the Ehrlich Brothers on RTL, which managed only 10.1% viewership, arriving too late to make a significant impact on the big TV night. RTL's live performance of the Ehrlich Brothers earlier in the day attracted slightly over 1 million viewers.
Meanwhile, other programmes struggled to compete with the football event's draw. "Absturz," aired on Das Erste, garnered 1.34 million viewers and a 6.4% market share, while "Die Toten am Meer - Der Wikinger" reached 3.28 million viewers during prime time. Sat.1's animated film "Pets" and ProSieben's old "Schlag den Star" episode managed 340,000 and 500,000 viewers, respectively, with market shares of 4.3% and 4.4%.
The weak viewership and market shares for private broadcasters were likely due to the strong competition from larger broadcasters and the football event. "Bad Spies" on Sat.1 had slightly higher viewership among young viewers but a lower market share of 3.9%, while Oezcan Cosar managed only a 3.4% share of young viewers on RTL.
Interestingly, the German women's football team also made headlines, winning the EM quarterfinals against France. However, the exact viewership figures for their match could not be found. For precise ratings during the Euro 2025 quarterfinals football match between Germany and France, it would be best to check with German media outlets or sports broadcasting networks that covered the event.
Kabel Eins and RTLzwei programmes barely registered in the ratings during the evening, further highlighting the football match's dominance in the German television landscape. As the excitement of the Euro 2025 continues, viewers can expect more thrilling matches and competitive ratings in the weeks to come.
