Major League Soccer’s 2026 regular season drew 11,251,962 fans, an average of 22,063 per match, the league announced. It is the third year in a row MLS has passed 11.2 million, and 2024, 2025 and 2026 are now the three best-attended regular seasons in league history.
Inter Miami were at the center of it. According to the club and the league, Inter Miami played in eight of the 10 best-attended regular-season matches of 2026, and the three 2026 crowds that rank among the 10 biggest in league history were all Inter Miami games.
The biggest crowds
- 75,824 at Colorado Rapids, Empower Field at Mile High, April 18: the second-largest crowd in MLS history
- 75,673 at LAFC, LA Memorial Coliseum, February 21: third all-time, and the biggest opening-weekend crowd the league has ever had
- 72,026 at D.C. United, March 7: ninth all-time
Only the 82,110 who saw LA Galaxy play LAFC at the Rose Bowl in 2023 sit above them. Six clubs set new single-match attendance records this season: Chicago Fire, Colorado, D.C. United, Inter Miami, LAFC and Toronto FC.
The league also reported 7.2 million gross live viewers per week, up 93 percent on 2025.
Note: MLS says 2026 ranks second, not first, for total attendance. The records this year came from individual crowds, and Inter Miami were in most of the biggest ones.
