The first‑ever SNL U.K. premiere on Sky One drew 226,000 viewers (3.2% share) per BARB via overnights.tv, topping Channel 4 in the same slot and outperforming Sky’s own A League of Their Own and the U.S. SNL on Sky Comedy last week, as critics reacted generally positively to the live-format take.
SNL UK premiered on Sky One to about 226,000 viewers (3.2% share) at 10pm, beating Channel 4 in the same slot, while BBC News led the hour with nearly 2M viewers. NBC’s US version started much smaller (6,800 viewers) and last week’s guest host drew around 4,550, illustrating a fragmented landscape. Sky says overnight ratings are only one signal and will also count Now streaming views and clip virality, suggesting the UK edition could grow as audiences shift to on-demand and social clips.
