Portuguese TV ratings competition

Overview

In early August 2026, Portuguese broadcaster TVI recorded its lowest audience share in 28 years, slipping toward third place behind SIC. CNN Portugal retained its position as the most‑watched news channel for the 56th month, while RTP1’s live sports broadcast of the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira attracted a strong viewership.

A week later, the SIC news bulletin Jornal da Noite emerged as the most‑watched programme in Portugal, posting a 6.6 % rating and a 16.7 % share, overtaking rival shows on RTP1 and TVI. This shift indicates SIC gaining ground in the news segment, contrasting with the earlier dominance of CNN Portugal. The snapshots together show a fluid competition among Portuguese TV channels, with audience leadership moving between TVI, CNN Portugal, RTP1, and SIC over the course of the week.
