It was a massive milestone after an already impressive 916,000 watched their first-round victory against Trans-Tasman rivals, New Zealand.
Although the Aussies were defeated 2-4 in an entertaining end-to-end battle against the Swedes, almost one and a half million fans were glued to their devices from whistle to whistle.
To put this record-breaking number into context, the next largest Matildas' audience was recorded at 571,000 viewers when Australia took on Italy at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Outside of football, the previous record-holders for largest audience to tune into an Australian women's sports team was at the Australian Open.
Here, 806,000 people watched the women's semifinals and 1.41 million switched on for Naomi Osaka's win over Serena Williams.

The Matildas' viewership also eclipsed that of the Women's ICC T20 World Cup Final in March 2020, when 1.2 million viewers watched Australia take on India.
Tonight, the Matildas will take on long-time rivals the USA, and with a quarterfinals berth on the line, Australia's National Women's Football Team is hopeful fans and spectators will help break this record yet again.
