A slightly below-average week in the 2023 USL Championship attendance listings in Week 29, with good crowds for Indy Eleven, Detroit and Pittsburgh.
Overall, 2023 USL Championship attendance is up 13 percent over 2022 numbers — but with several teams not reporting numbers (Las Vegas, Tampa Bay, Birmingham and Phoenix have stopped), it’s hard to say what the real margin is.
This season sees a reduced lineup of 24 teams after several MLS teams pulled their affiliates and some USL Championship teams paused operations due to facilities issues. Still, the 24 teams remaining presents a pretty formidable lineup, and we expect strong 2023 USL Championship attendance numbers throughout the season. We have based this ranking on numbers officially posted to the USL Championship website‘s schedule page as well as newspaper coverage and other media reports.
These numbers are current as of Sept. 25, 2023.
