Interest around Denmark for the top clash in the Danish Superliga between AGF and FC Midtjylland practically went through the roof and the match ended up being one of the most-watched clashes in Danish Superliga history.

On average, 330,000 viewers watched on TV, while it peaked at 432,000 viewers according to rightsholder Viaplay.

Sunday's golden showdown is the most-watched Superliga match in at least the past 30 years, in which neither FC Copenhagen nor Brondby has participated. 

For Viaplay is their most-watched Superliga match since Brondby lost the gold medals against AGF in May 2024 at Brondby Stadium.

"These are absolutely crazy numbers that we are extremely proud of. The race for gold in Danish football is really something that captures the Danes. We are happy that we, as rights holders, can help break viewership records. It is not only gratifying for us at Viaplay, but also for Danish football."

"And of course, interestingly, it is happening in a season where both Brondby and FC Copenhagen are significantly underperforming", says Rune Knudsen, sports director at Viaplay, to Bold.dk

Three rounds are remaining in the Danish Superliga.
