The 2023 MLS attendance numbers ended on a high note, with huge crowds in Charlotte (the Messi effect!) Toronto and New England leading to a season-ending surge.
Overall, MLS attendance is up 5 percent over 2022 attendance. There is still one match where we need to track down attendance: Inter Miami did not report their season-ending match attendance.
These 2023 MLS attendance numbers are current as of Oct. 22, 2023. They are based on the MLS website, in-game announcements, press releases and media reports.
