CBS said Sunday's two-hour interview, in which Harry and Meghan accused the royal family of racism and of failing to protect them from negative media coverage, was the most watched TV special outside the annual National Football League Super Bowl in a year.
The Super Bowl draws an audience of about 100 million and is the highest-rated TV event in the United States.
Last year's Oscars telecast drew 23.6 million viewers.
The interview will be broadcast in the UK on Monday night. Buckingham Palace has yet to comment on their remarks.
