The audience record was the biggest in the tournament and had the highest peak on any channel, dwarfing last year’s Euro Cup final between England and Italy.
This was also ITV’s best Saturday night in terms of record viewership since a new ratings system was introduced in 2002.
Figures later revealed that there were 30 million streams on ITV, which was once again the best for Hub or ITVX.
An average audience of 20.4 million watched the match with an average of 15.8 million watching the live and exclusive coverage. Over 23 million watched the heartbreaking moment for England when Harry Kane missed his penalty to tie the game.
The streaming service arrives through the challenge
The encounter with France was also a big test for ITVX, ITV’s new broadcast replacement for the ITV Hub that had previously angered fans with glitches and glitches early in the tournament.
ITV had previously announced that they would promise a new service that would prevent screens from freezing while watching live matches.
There were also earlier complaints on social media that viewers were unable to access matches via ITVX because their TVs had not been updated with the new app.
However, the new streaming services had a successful day with 15.3 million streams of England vs. France, while Morocco’s stunning 1-0 win over Portugal was streamed over 8.2 million times.
France went through Aurelien Tchouameni’s lightning bolt on 17 minutes before Harry Kane restored equality with his 54th-minute penalty.
Olivier Giroud’s header 12 minutes from time was ultimately the winner as Kane dodged his penalty six minutes from time.
