2023 MLS Attendance

We have a battle between Atlanta United and Charlotte FC for the top spot in 2023 MLS attendance front after Week Four, with Houston Dynamo, CF Montreal and LA Galaxy showing strong debuts for the season.

Overall, MLS attendance is up 10 percent over 2022 attendance — an impressive start to the campaign, especially when the first weeks of the season don’t usually yield big numbers. We now have every MLS squad posting a score for the 2023 season, but it’s way to early to detect any trends for the campaign. For instance, the big crowd attracted by CF Montreal came at Olympic Stadium–and the team’s numbers will surely come down after a few months.

These 2023 MLS attendance numbers are current as of March 19, 2023. They are based on the MLS website, in-game announcements, press releases media reports.
