LOS ANGELES, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the BIG3 announced a total of 1,826,000 global viewers for the league's Week 2 games.

Season-to-date, the BIG3's top-five rated markets are Dayton, OH, Tulsa, OK, Hartford, CT, Memphis, TN, and Nashville, TN.

The league has seen significant year-over-year growth from Week 2 2021 on CBS in all demographics, including:

"These numbers reinforce everything that the BIG3 has been working towards," said BIG3 CEO, Chris Hannan.

It is clear that the BIG3 is in demand and we are thrilled with the global expansion and reach to start our fifth season."

These ratings come as the league prepares to move to Comerica Center in Frisco, TX for the remaining six weeks of the regular season on July 2. The BIG3 will move to Amalie Arena in Tampa, FL for the playoffs on August 14, followed by the 2022 Championship Game at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, GA on August 21.
