Major League Soccer is the premier professional soccer league in the United States and Canada. Competition began in 1996 and attendance has grown rapidly since the early 2000s, making it one of the fastest-growing sports leagues in the world. The average attendance of 22,111 [1] in 2023 was a 60% increase over the 13,756 average in 2000 (the lowest in MLS history). The total attendance of 10,900,804 in 2023 is almost five times that of 2,214,978 in 2002 (the lowest in MLS history). Similar to Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League, attendance is based on the number of tickets distributed. [2]

Notes

Some clubs have attendances over 100% capacity due to limited stadium capacity that is lifted during certain matches, when additional sections are opened. Other clubs use larger venues for certain matches that attract large attendances.

  1. ↑ One match played at the Rose Bowl (capacity 92,542).
  2. ↑ St. Louis City SC entered MLS in 2023. [6]
  3. ↑ New York City FC played home matches at several other venues in the New York metropolitan area. [7]
