The 2025 ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup final has achieved an astonishing viewership record, with 185 million users flocking to JioHotstar to witness India’s historic victory over South Africa. This landmark figure equals the audience of the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup final, marking a significant moment in the sport’s evolution. India’s triumph in Navi Mumbai, securing their first Women’s ODI World Cup title, has evidently captured the nation’s attention and boosted the profile of women’s cricket exponentially.
Across the entire tournament, women’s cricket recorded an unprecedented reach of 446 million viewers in India. This total eclipses the combined viewership of the last three ICC Women’s World Cups, underscoring the rapid growth and increased fan engagement. During the thrilling final, a peak concurrency of 21 million viewers was recorded. Harmanpreet Kaur’s leadership guided India to become the first Asian team to lift the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup, a monumental achievement for the sport in the region.
In parallel, Connected TV (CTV) viewership reached a new high, with 92 million people tuning in for the final. This statistic matches the CTV audience figures for both the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup final and the 2023 Men’s Cricket World Cup final, highlighting the increasing accessibility and mainstream appeal of women’s cricket. The success reflects the high quality of the game and the passionate support it now commands. The upcoming WPL in January 2026 is poised for massive interest following this record-breaking event.
