MBC secured the number one spot in viewership ratings for key matches on the third day of the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.

According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings survey company, on the 23rd, the men's football match between South Korea and Saudi Arabia held on the 22nd at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games achieved a viewership rating of 4.5 percent, ranking first with the commentary team of caster Kim Sung-ju, Ahn Jung-hwan, and commentator Seo Hyung-wook.

Earlier, on the 20th, the men's basketball final broadcast by caster Ko Kang-yong and commentator Ha Seung-jin also reached a viewership rating of 5.0 percent, securing the top position. Amid the tension of the Korea-Japan match for the gold medal after 12 years, the two commentators clearly explained the flow of the game while delivering deep analysis based on Ha's experience as a former NBA player and Ko's vivid delivery, fully conveying the intense atmosphere of the court up to the moment of victory.

On the 21st, in baseball, the match against Taiwan featuring caster Kim Na-jin along with commentators Jung Min-cheol and Oh Seung-hwan also recorded a viewership rating of 5.0 percent, continuing their streak at number one.

Having swept the top spot in viewership ratings for core sports events from the early stages of the tournament, MBC plans to bring vivid on-site feelings and moving moments to living rooms during the Chuseok holiday period.
