UCLA football had many people watch their games during the 2022 season.

To fully get an accurate count of how many fans watched each college football game is complicated. It is also challenging to get the numbers of viewers for games shown on the Pac-12 Network.

UCLA for example in 2022, had their first four games on the Pac-12 Network. There is no public data on how many people watched those games. However, if you take the other nine games and average the number of people who viewed those games and compared those to the other Pac-12 teams for 2022, some would argue that UCLA had the highest average number of viewers for conference games in the Pac-12 for the 2022 season. However, without having the numbers of viewers for the Bruins’ first four games that included the game against Colorado, other Pac-12 programs can make an argument against UClA having the highest average amount of viewers overall and or for conference games that were played in 2022.

Some articles that looked at the average amount of viewers for Pac-12 teams in 2022, have UCLA ranked No. 3 and No. 4 but as mentioned above, without data on viewership from the Pac-12 Network, there are no true and valid rankings of all of the Pac-12 football teams for the 2022 season in terms of overall viewership of the games.

Here is a look at the individual games per week with how many were estimated to have viewed the games, as well as where they ranked overall that week and ranked in comparison to other Pac-12 teams according to the website sportsmediawatch.com.

However, let’s first look at possible reasons why the Pac-12 Network has not publically released the numbers of viewers of the games shown on their network for this past football season.
