TV Ratings: 10M Watched Season Premiere of 60-Minutes


The 58th season premiere of CBS's 60 Minutes aired on Sunday, September 28, 2025, from approximately 7:30-8:30 PM ET/PT, following an NFL doubleheader on the CBS Television Network and available on Paramount+. 

The episode featured segments including an interview with Utah Governor Spencer Cox on unity after the Charlie Kirk assassination, among other investigative reports. This marks the show's 58th season, renewed earlier in 2025, continuing its status as one of television's longest-running and most awarded programs.

TV Ratings

According to Nielsen live plus same-day measurements:
  • Total Viewers: 10.03 million, making it the top non-sports program of the night.
  • Adults 18-49 Rating: Specific demo figures were not detailed in initial reports, but the show led its time slot in key demographics.
This represents a slight decline from the previous season's premiere (Season 57 on September 15, 2024), which drew 10.48 million total viewers and a 0.69 rating in adults 18-49 (translating to about 10.02 million viewers in that demo). 

Despite the dip, 60 Minutes remains a ratings powerhouse for CBS, averaging strong viewership in its veteran-skewing audience. Streaming views on Paramount+ contributed an additional 43 million minutes watched on premiere day, though exact unique viewer counts for the platform were not specified.
