Alabama’s 41-34 win over Georgia on Saturday night had an average of 12 million viewers on ABC and ESPN’s streaming services, according to Nielsen.

This was the most-watched regular-season prime-time game since 2017, when the Alabama-Florida State game at the start of the season averaged 12.3 million viewers. It was also the most-streamed regular-season game on ESPN.

Nielsen reported that the audience peaked at 14.1 million between 11:15 and 11:30 p.m. EDT, when Alabama was fending off Georgia’s attempt to come back in the second half.
