Last updated on March eighth, 2024

Inside Justin Medeiros’ home gym, the “Shred Shed,” WWE Heavyweight Champion and longtime CrossFitter Seth Rollins unveiled the 24.2 workout to the very best livestream numbers for a CrossFit Open announcement we’ve ever seen.

One big thing: Both maximum concurrent views (how many individuals were watching directly) and overall livestream views (after 24 hours) for twenty-four.2 increased from last 12 months. The total views after 24 hours for twenty-four.2 surpassed the common views (after 24 hours) for all three announcements from 2023.

The details: The 24.2 announcement recorded a maximum concurrent viewership (unofficially) of 206,012 and a complete view count (after 24 hours) of 835,042.

How Does This Compare?

Here’s how the 24.2 numbers compare to past Open announcements.

	24.2	24.1	23.1	23.2	23.3
Max Concurrent (Unofficial)	206,012	173,366	113,624	120,336	129,146
Total Views (at 24 hours)	835,042	872,651	619,894	649,779	588,000

• The max concurrent average for the 2023 Open was 120,873, far below what we saw this week with 24.2. We typically see viewership increase each week of the Open, and 2024 is following that trend.
• The total views per week average for the 2023 Open was 619,224, while total views (after 24 hours) for twenty-four.2 got here in at 835,042. A considerable difference of 215,818 views. However, that is lower than last week’s variety of 872,651.
• One thing to notice: The max concurrent views of 24.2 were roughly 45,000 higher than 24.1, yet the full views after 24 hours were higher for week one by about 37,000.

A Sports Entertainment Twist

Seth Rollins added the WWE flair together with his athlete introductions as he unveiled the workout.

• “To my right…Hometown boy, two-time Fittest Man on Earth…Justin Medeiros!”
• “To my left…The Iron Hog! Iowa’s own, the winner of 24.1, Colten Mertens!”
• “There’s just one thing left to do. Let’s get your weapons and burn…it…down!” Rollins exclaimed after revealing the workout.

Let’s return further: While the above numbers only include YouTube viewership, our 2020 data includes each YouTube and Facebook. Even so, the common total views after 24 hours for every of the five weeks was 367,857. With over 800,000 views over the past 24 hours, the 2024 Open statistics are easily surpassing previous years.

The big picture: These numbers show positive growth and proceed the upward trend we’ve seen since 2020. We will proceed to trace viewership through the ultimate week of the Open this 12 months.
