2023 once again confirmed that nothing beats the NFL in terms of viewership, but of the best of the rest in terms of most-watched telecasts from the year, Gordon Ramsay's Next Level Chef season 2 and the Oscars were able to make some headway amongst the gridiron games.

As it has done in recent years, Variety gathered data from Nielsen and put together the 100 most-watched TV telecasts of 2023. The first 14 were all NFL games, led of course by Super Bowl LVII between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs with 114.95 million viewers. But two non-NFL telecasts were able to crack the top 25: the Oscars, which came in at 15 with 19.41 million viewers, and Next Level Chef's season 2 premiere at 22 with 16.89 million viewers.
