Engagement
A typical post picks up 63 interactions against 1.8M followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 121 original posts, its engagement rate beats 31% of 3,739 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

Compared with accounts its own size
NBC Sports's engagement rate beats 31% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 18% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 19:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

A typical post picks up 63 interactions against 1.8M followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 121 original posts, its engagement rate beats 31% of 3,739 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 34K times each, and 0.188% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.87% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 5.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 121 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 9.0K interactions, about 143x its own typical post.

- What is NBC Sports's engagement rate on X?
- NBC Sports (@NBCSports) has an engagement rate of 0.004%, based on the median interactions across 121 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,795,320 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.004%, NBC Sports sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,261 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @NBCSports have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 31% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @NBCSports post?
- Most posts go out around 19:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 5.8 posts per day across the measured window.
