FIFA says more than 3.5 billion people viewed some of the 2018 World Cup, with 1.12 billion watching at least one minute of France beating Croatia 4-2 in the final.

A FIFA-commissioned review of World Cup viewing says the final's television audience was 516.6 million by the traditional measure of "global average in-home audience."
FIFA says "each game was a global televisual event in its own right."
