The first Clash held at the LA Coliseum drew the most viewers with over four million watchers.
It must be noted however, that this year's race was originally scheduled to run on both Saturday and Sunday with the main event taking place Sunday night. Extreme weather was heading into the area and the race was switched to a one-day event on Saturday at the last minute. This probably negatively affected the number of fans tuning in.
Additionally, Sunday’s race was set to be shown on FOX. Due to the rescheduling, it was shown via FS1. At just over a million and a half viewers, the 2024 Clash recorded the lowest viewership.
