Viewership is up at Fox Sports, which has avoided any talk of scandals and human rights abuses at this year's World Cup, while broadcasters in Germany, that have been sharply critical of host nation Qatar, have seen an audience slump.

But things really took off when the United States played Monday. Nearly 12 million viewers on Fox and Telemundo caught the 1-1 draw with Wales, with an average of 8.3 million watching on Fox across its broadcast and digital platforms and 3.4 million on the Spanish-language service.

Tuesday’s Mexico v. Poland match drew an average of 4.6 million viewers for Telemundo and Peacock across all platforms. Fox has been careful to avoid any criticism of host nation Qatar, with on-air hosts ignoring any and all controversial topics. Fox has a sponsorship agreement with sponsorship agreement with Qatar Airways and several Visit Qatar tourism spots have run during the channel’s World Cup coverage, but Fox has denied its sponsorship deals are influencing its coverage.

One can only hope
