During the eclipse, television consumption soared, reaching an audience of 7.8 million people. La 1 emerged as the leading channel with a 28.6% share of the screen between 8:30 PM and 8:45 PM, thanks to its special programming and the broadcast of a friendly match between Deportivo de la Coruña and Real Madrid.

Cuatro and La Sexta followed La 1 in terms of viewership, although specific figures were not reported. These numbers reflect the significant public interest in astronomical events and their media coverage.
