This figure represents a 27% increase in viewership compared to the same match last season, reflecting the direct impact of the new audiovisual model driven by LigaF, which champions broadcasting matches free-to-air as a strategic lever for the competition's growth.
The incorporation of new television windows has allowed for the amplification of the reach of one of the most anticipated fixtures in the calendar, reinforcing the visibility of women's football and facilitating access for a broader and more diverse audience.

This new record is part of the sustained growth trend that LigaF has been experiencing since the launch of the free-to-air broadcasting agreement, confirming the effectiveness of a strategy aimed at strengthening the audiovisual product, increasing audiences, and consolidating the competition's position in the national sporting landscape.

The impact of this model is not only reflected in a higher number of viewers but also in greater exposure for the clubs and players, contributing to the structural development of the competition and the generation of new role models in women's football.

LigaF thus reaffirms its commitment to continue working alongside audiovisual operators to boost visibility, improve the spectator experience, and continue moving towards a sustainable, attractive, and constantly growing model.
