Notably, Inter Miami featured in eight of the 10 highest-attended matches of the regular season, further underscoring the Club’s growing reach and appeal.
The Club also recorded two of the three largest standalone crowds in MLS history this season.

United on March 7 drew 72,026 fans, ranking ninth in MLS history.
These milestones reflect the continued growth of the Club’s fan base and the widespread excitement surrounding the Club, led by captain Leo Messi. Inter Miami’s presence has helped generate historic crowds and establish new single-match attendance records in multiple markets across the league.
In recent years, Inter Miami matches have contributed to attendance milestones in Chicago, Toronto, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, where the matchup against LAFC set the record for the highest-attended match in MLS opening weekend history, and Seattle, among other markets.
The Club’s impact comes amid a historic period for MLS, which welcomed 11,251,962 fans during the 2026 regular season, averaging 22,063 per match. The 2024-2026 seasons now represent the three highest-attended regular seasons in league history, with MLS surpassing 11.2 million fans for the third consecutive year.
