Sky Sports has reported August was its strongest month on YouTube with 163 million global views.

The previous record was in December 2021 with 156 million global views.

The strongest seven days was between 14 and 20 August with 59 million global views.

Sky Sports attributed many of these views to the fight between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk as well as the Premier League match between Tottenham and Chelsea which saw a face-off between managers Antonio Conte and Thomas Tuchel.
