"Figures supplied to the Irish Independent reveal the first episode of the reality show was watched by nearly half the available audience on Sunday night. This makes it one of the highest-ever ratings for a show's debut on RTÉ. This equated to over 600,000 viewers on RTÉ One and RTÉ One+1 while on the RTÉ Player, the first episode had 139,000 streams."
"In terms of viewership figures, this puts 'The Traitors Ireland' on a similar par with major live sporting events and guarantees it a spot in the 'most watched' shows of 2025. When compared with the most popular Irish programmes from 2024, the figures would be similar to live events like the Paris Olympics and The Sunday Game. For the second and third episodes, these were akin to viewership figures for some editions of the Late Late Show and the Guinness Six Nations."
The Traitors Ireland launched with nearly half of the available RTÉ audience, registering over 600,000 viewers on RTÉ One and RTÉ One+1 and 139,000 RTÉ Player streams. Episode two averaged 510,000 viewers (43% of the available audience) and episode three averaged 467,000 (46%). The series is hosted by Siobhán McSweeney and features contestants including Andrew (33) and Paudie (68), with Paudie one of three traitors alongside Garda Eamon (36) and Katelyn (32). Viewership figures place the show alongside major live sporting events and top Irish programmes, aided by a three-episode weekly schedule that builds momentum and appointment viewing.
