Since all my time this week was taken up by the college football TV schedule post, no total day averages this week.

Top 20 Most-Viewed Sports Events for Week of June 17-23: NBA Finals Conclusion Edition
Normally I extend the list down to the top 20 English-language sports events, but no thanks to Univision not publicizing all its Confederations Cup ratings and SBD inexplicably not reporting any of them (while reporting World Cup qualifiers on Univision networks happening in the middle of it!), I’m not even sure this list is complete.
These numbers are delayed a month to wait for SportsBusiness Daily’s ratings roundup to come out of the paywall. Other numbers from the same sources as before. Numbers in gray interpolated based on the rest of the chart.
