But on July 11, the Overwatch League announced a major deal with Disney to bring the grand finals event to ESPN, Disney XD, and ABC. (The deal will continue into season two, too.) The Overwatch League grand finals concluded on July 28, and the Nielsen numbers are in.Related:\u00a0The\u00a0Ovewatch\u00a0League will be broadcast on ESPN and ABC\ufeffSports Business Journal's John Ourand reported on July 30 that Overwatch League's Friday night broadcast on ESPN was rated at .018, while Saturday night on ESPN2\u2014a re-broadcast of earlier digital coverage\u2014rated at 0.05. Sunday night's ABC recap clocked in at 0.3. Ourand also pointed out that the Overwatch League lost close to half it's lead-in viewers on Friday night, and was down 20 percent from boxing in the same timeslot the week before.Ourand did not report numbers from the broadcast on Disney XD.Television ratings aren't an ideal way to measure viewership though, with numbers adding up to an estimate rather than a solid number. Breaking down the ratings percentages into numbers, Kotaku reported the Friday night broadcast reached 215,280 households, while on Saturday the Overwatch League reached 59,800 homes, and on Sunday, it broadcast to 358,800 households.Related: London Spitfire are the first Overwatch League championsBlizzard hasn't posted official broadcast numbers for its weekend Overwatch League broadcast, but across the two nights, the Twitch stream peaked around 350,000 viewers by our count. We're still missing numbers from different streams across the weekend, but add these counts together and it's actually pretty good for an esports broadcast.Does it show that esports has a certain future on broadcast television? No. We won't know its true success until there's some sort of buildup to coverage\u2014the Overwatch League can't expect ESPN viewers to be invested in a grand finals match they have no context for.Neither Blizzard nor Disney have explicitly said whether the Overwatch League will have a consistent home on ESPN and ABC networks during season two, but it's certainly in line for more coverage than just the finals\u2014and that bodes well for better ratings in season two.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/20083242\/d457bcdd-cfd7-4fda-92d6-98927be3fa0a.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/909"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=260"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=260"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=260"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
