Which sport is more popular on a world scale American football or Rugby Union

American football and rugby union are two popular sports worldwide, but one has a clear edge in terms of popularity on a global scale.

American football is primarily played in the United States, while rugby union has a more global presence, particularly in the United Kingdom, Europe, and parts of the Southern Hemisphere. In terms of global participation, rugby union boasts over 8 million registered players, spread across 120 countries. American football, on the other hand, has approximately 3 million registered players, mainly concentrated in the United States.

International competitions also reflect the disparity in popularity. The Rugby World Cup, held every four years, is one of the most watched sporting events in the world, with an estimated global viewership of over 1 billion. The Super Bowl, the championship game of the National Football League (NFL), attracts a large audience in the United States and some other countries, but its global reach is significantly smaller.

In terms of revenue, the NFL generates far more revenue than rugby union. The NFL is estimated to have annual revenues of over $15 billion, while the sport of rugby union generates an estimated $5 billion globally.
