Rai 1 leads Italian TV ratings in June 2026

On June 30, 2026, Rai 1 secured the top audience slot during the second evening of the 2026 World Cup, drawing 3.019 million viewers (32.2% share) for the France–Sweden match and a combined 3.927 million viewers (23.3% share) for its primetime lineup that included "Affari Tuoi" and "Notti Mondiali." The channel outperformed Canale 5, which recorded 1.688 million viewers for its film broadcast.

The previous day, June 29, saw the daytime debut of Manuela Moreno on "Vita in diretta" after replacing Alberto Matano. Moreno’s show attracted 1.642 million viewers (18.6% share), while competing programmes such as "La Porta Magica" fell to 787 thousand viewers (8.6% share). Unomattina recorded 820 thousand viewers (21% share), and other summer slots delivered audiences ranging from 1.0 to 1.5 million.

Overall, Rai 1’s strong performance across both primetime sports coverage and daytime programming underscotted its dominant position in the Italian television market during late June 2026.
