The 2024 MLS season set records for league attendance, and the 2025 season has picked up on a strong note, hitting its one-third mark on Matchday 12.
While MLS crowds tend to grow during the summer months when there are fewer competing professional sports leagues, the start to the 2025 campaign has brought solid numbers across the league, with an average of 22,519 fans per game.
The season started well, with Atlanta United drawing a league-leading 65,520 fans to their 3–2 win over CF Montréal. Since then, Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami CF has lifted crowds across the league.
Inter Miami’s home games may not rank high on the list, but so far, they’ve attracted 62,358 fans in Chicago and 60,614 in Cleveland against Columbus Crew SC.
With the summer months looming and the rush to the MLS Cup Playoffs, the attendance figures will likely grow, and creep up on the average league attendance of 23,342, hit in 2024.
