The AFF World Championship is one of the most-watched annual sporting events in the world, with viewership overwhelmingly in members of the [[Conference of American States]]. The only other annual event that gathers more viewers is the [[FIFA World Cup]]. For many years, the AFF as a whole has possessed a large North American and global television viewership, and it is often the most-watched North American-based television program annually. In addition to the games each receiving a television ranking higher than 30, on average, more than 60 million people from North America alone are tuned into the tournament at any given moment. The [[Gold Coast]]-based newspaper firm ''[[Porciúncula Times|The Porciúncula Times]]'' measured the global audience for the 2010 AFF World Championship, held in Sierra, at 82 million people, with nearly 97 percent of that figure being viewers in North America, which meant roughly two-and-a-half million people outside North America watched the championship that year. | |||
The 2010 AFF World Championship holds the record for average number of NA viewers, with 102.4 million, making the game the most-viewed television broadcast of any kind in American history (excluding the [[United Commonwealth]]). The halftime show set a record with 112.1 million viewers tuning in. In recent years, the 2017 Final round would reportedly peaked at 118.5 million viewers. The game set a record for total viewers for the third time in six years. Famous AFF-host commercials include the introduction of [[Webbox]] in the late 1990s, the various pro and anti-[[2004 invasion of Syria]] infomercials, and the [[VERS]] "Game On" campaign during the eighth video game console generation. As the television ratings of AFF tournament have steadily increased over the years, commercial prices have also increased, with advertisers paying upwards of $8 million for a thirty-second spot during the quarterly round of the 2022 tournament. However, its believed a minority of the audience reportedly tunes into the tournament solely to view commercials. In 2016, the [[Anglo-American Broadcasting Union]] (AABU) reported that nearly 51 percent of AFF viewers tune in part because of the commercials, though those still watching for the game itself was averaged at 99 percent. | |||
Since 1999, games have been centered on Sundays, with the finals starting at 6:09 and 6:30 PM PST so that most of the game is played during the primetime hours on the West Coast. | |||
