But this was down on the season eight premiere, which aired on June 2, 2013 and saw 3.02million tune in.
MailOnline has contacted a representative for E! for comment.
The season nine premiere featured some emotional scenes during which Kris, 58, and Bruce Jenner, 64, finally confirmed their split after Kim Kardashian had called a family meeting.
Speaking to Kris, Bruce said: 'We have been together for 23 years and it seems to be now that we are doing better being apart and seeing each other here and there.

'We both have to admit that the energy between us seems to be better when we are apart right now.'
The pair's daughter Kendall Jenner, 18, appeared to take her parents' split the hardest, but Kris was confident the separation would be a positive thing for the family.
Speaking directly to the camera, she said: 'As long as it is a good thing and it is healthy for the family and Bruce is happy, and the kids are happy, then this thing will work out.'

But the drama in the episode did not end there as Khloe Kardashian revealed her own relationship issues with her basketball player husband Lamar Odom meant she did not want to leave the house.
However, it appears fans of the show preferred to tune into much happier goings-on in the season eight premiere.
The opening episode focused on Kim Kardashian's pregnancy news and her relationship with now-fiancé Kanye West.
