England's Euro 2022 final triumph attracted a peak BBC audience of 17.4 million - smashing previous records for women's football coverage.

There were also 5.9m streams on the iPlayer as the broadcaster enjoyed numbers matching some of the biggest men's games at major tournaments.

The 17.4m peak audience for the 2-1 extra time victory against Germany trounces the previous record of 11.7m who saw the Lionesses lose to the United States in the semi-final of the 2019 World Cup.
