2022 MLS Attendance

GEODIS Park 2022

We saw a strong close at the gate on the 2022 MLS attendance front in Week 34, led by good crowds for Orlando City, DC United, Houston Dynamo and New York Red Bulls matches.

These are not the final 2022 MLS attendance numbers, as numbers for seven six two matches over the course of the season are not public, and we’ve reached out to team PR officials for the results.

Overall, MLS attendance is up 25 percent over 2021 attendance. The trend toward normalcy continues, as this year’s numbers reflect the state of things in 2018 and 2019, when 21,873 fans per game attended MLS matches.

These 2022 MLS attendance numbers are current as of Oct. 11, 2022. They are based on the MLS website, in-game announcements and media reports.
