Nielsen’s All Screens Video Landscape Report Reveals Shift in Polish Media Rankings and Deeper Audience Engagement

Nielsen, a global leader in audience measurement, data, and analytics, has published its first All Screens Video Landscape report of 2026. The latest report tracks total household viewership (defined as a combination of total reach and time spent) in Poland between 2024 and 2025 across four screens – TVs, PCs/laptops, smartphones, and tablets.

Firstly, the report compared the top 10 content distributors in Poland in 2024 and 2025, ranking them based on their audience share and breaking down whether viewing was on TV screens or other screens.

• In 2024, Warner Bros. Discovery took the top spot, with a share of 19.51%, followed by TVP (18.41%), with Polsat rounding out the top three with 18.18%.
  
  
• 2025 saw a change, with top spot being claimed by Polsat (18.12%), whilst Warner Bros. Discovery dropped a place into second with 17.97%, and TVP dropped to third (17.56%).
  
  
• Telewizja Republika was another mover, having taken sixth place in 2024 with 3.24% of the audience share, but in 2025, rising to fifth place and increasing its audience share to 5.23%.
  
  
• Canal+ was a new entry into the top 10 in 2025, whilst Byte Dance dropped out.
  
  
• When it comes to the metric of screen share, year-on-year Google saw household viewership on the TV screen increase from 27% to 29%.
  
  
• Netflix also saw this trend with its viewership on a TV screen increasing from 80% to 84%.
  
  

Lucyna Koba, Market Leader, Nielsen Poland, said: “The 2024–2025 data shows a reordering among Poland’s leading content distributors, with Polsat, Warner Bros. Discovery, and TVP continuing to lead a highly competitive, dynamic, and evolving field. Additionally, our data shows that the TV screen is becoming an increasingly important destination for digital-first platforms. The growth in TV screen share for digital platforms such as Google and Netflix suggests that even as viewing options expand across mobile devices, the living room remains a central hub for household consumption in Poland.”

The All Screens Video Landscape report also revealed other interesting trends with regards to household viewing in Poland. There was a 4.42% year-on-year decline in the total reach across all video consumption, however the average time spent viewing increased by 1.04%, showing that whilst less people in Poland consumed content in the house in 2025, those who did, actually spent longer watching it. When looking at just streaming (excluding linear TV viewing), the average time viewing increased by 4.19%, despite a 4.32% drop in reach, whilst just linear TV viewing stayed stable with a minimal 0.19% growth in average time viewing, despite also experiencing a 4.5% decline in reach. Some of the main reasons for the decline in reach include a lack of large sporting fixtures in 2025, compared to 2024, which was dominated by the Olympic Games and UEFA European Championships. 2025 did see a landmark year for political content, with numerous debates surrounding the Polish presidential election, which helped to create deeper engagement with audiences.

Lucyna Koba added: “The 2025 data indicates a clear pivot from broad audience reach towards deeper, more concentrated engagement within Polish households. While the reach saw a slight contraction, those who watched became more dedicated consumers, spending more time with content overall.

“Broadly, this suggests that the Polish market is maturing. For distributors and advertisers alike, success is increasingly defined not just by how many people they reach, but by how effectively they can retain that audience’s attention. The fact that linear TV viewing time remained stable despite a drop in reach further underscores that traditional television continues to hold a highly loyal and consistent core audience.”
