All 36 WUGC streams (live and re-watched) total 600,000+ views as of November 2016. As a comparison, UltiVillage's "The Greatest Ultimate Frisbee Highlight Reel...Ever!" uploaded August 2010 has been viewed nearly 550,000 views. The most viewed WUGC match was the Men's final between the United States and Japan - nearly 150,000 views; the next most-viewed game is nearly 100,000 fewer views.
