FC Barcelona’s digital presence reached another milestone during their recent friendly against Seoul FC, attracting an extraordinary 2 million concurrent viewers on the club’s official YouTube live stream.
Since the match aired, total viewership has already surpassed 12 million, with fan engagement in the comments section showing overwhelmingly positive sentiment.
This achievement cements Barcelona’s position as a leader in sports content strategy on YouTube — a platform they have consistently leveraged to connect directly with a global fanbase, expand brand reach, and monetise digital audiences.
By delivering free, high-quality live content to millions around the world, Barcelona is not only strengthening its supporter relationships but also setting a benchmark for how elite sports organisations can harness streaming platforms to grow influence and revenue.
