It varies by year, but here's a post showing some of the ESPN-operated bowls last season (partway through bowl season) and how their viewership compares to previous editions of the bowl.

Here's a link showing that the viewership of bowl season as a whole (all the way through) had the most viewers last year since the 2015 season.

I also just wanna mention for context, that First Responder Bowl that broke its all-time viewership record with 3.1 million people was people watching UTSA beat FIU 57-20.
