Netflix’s live Home Run Derby receives about 5.3 million average viewers for its initial broadcast, according to multiple outlets. Yahoo Sports and Fox News both report the figure matches the event’s lowest performance since 2003, a comparison that places the stream’s audience level at a two-decade low. The New York Post likewise describes the ratings as the worst in more than two decades, focusing on the large drop in viewership relative to historical benchmarks.
Across the coverage, the common points are the same: the Netflix broadcast pulls roughly 5.3 million viewers on its first showing and is characterized by outlets as the lowest-rated Home Run Derby since 2003. Fox News adds that the results prompt questions about the quality of live sports presentations on streaming platforms, but the reporting does not include consensus evidence beyond the viewership numbers and the historical comparison. No sources provide competing alternative audience figures or different timeframes for the rating measurement.
