The Kansas City Chiefs' victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl on Sunday was the most-watched television programme in US history, according to preliminary data released by Nielsen and CBS on Monday.

According to CBS, which broadcast the game, the Super Bowl averaged 123.4 million viewers across all platforms, breaking the mark of 115.1 million set during last year's Super Bowl between the Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.

CBS added that 202.4 million viewers watched at least part of the game, breaking the record of 184 million (also set last Super Bowl).

Though Nielsen's final data will be released Tuesday, Monday's figures made it clear the game was a smash hit for CBS and the NFL.
