With the season at a close, the 2019 NWSL attendance numbers ended exceptionally strong, with every team up from 2018 and an overall per-match rise of 22 percent.
Here are the season and weekly numbers for 2019 NWSL attendance in Week 25, as of Oct. 12:

As noted, every team saw a rise in the per-match average for the season, fueled by a World Cup afterglow and enough growth to warrant games at larger MLS venues. With a 22 percent rise season over season, potential expansion in 2020 and the increasing realization that some facilities upgrades are needed, the 2019 NWSL season can be seen as a success–and serve as a solid foundation for coming years.
