According to Optus, must-see matches in both leagues, including Liverpool’s incredible 4-0 victory against Barcelona and Tottenham’s equally historic away-win at Ajax, has seen its Sport channel activated customer numbers soar 50% year-on-year. “This morning’s final round of the Premier League saw the highest ever viewing numbers for Optus Sport, eclipsing last year’s FIFA World Cup, with customers streaming to watch Manchester City pip Liverpool to the title,” Optus Sport said on Monday. And, it said it has also enjoyed its biggest ever week, with unique weekly viewers up +130% in the past week compared to the corresponding week last season. Corin Dimopoulos, Optus’ head of TV and Content, claimed European football was “gripping Optus fans with sign-ups to Optus Sport swelling dramatically ahead of an all-English Champions League final and the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019 in France next month”. “We’re thrilled with the strong growth of Optus Sport viewers this year and the fantastic feedback we’ve received from fans across the country,” Dimopoulos said.
