Soccer is growing increasingly popular in the United States. More and more fans are tuning in to catch their favorite stars in action in the Premier League, La Liga, Liga MX, and, of course, USA’s very own, Major League Soccer (MLS). Now, thanks to some fantastic work by sports media analyst Larry Johnson, we know which teams rule the television screens in the United States.
Club América The Most Watched Team In US, Inter Miami The Most Popular MLS Club
According to Johnson (via World Soccer Talk), Apertura 2023 winners Club América are the most watched team in the United States. Premier League holders Manchester City are in second place, while Mexican clubs Chivas and Tigre occupy the third and fourth places. Premier League leaders Liverpool round off the top five.
Arsenal are in sixth place while Real Madrid have clinched the seventh spot, emerging as the most watched club in all of Spain. Madrid’s arch-rivals Barcelona have lost prominence in the United States and are in the 25th spot. Chelsea (8th), Newcastle United (9th), Tottenham Hotspur (13th), Manchester United (14th), Everton (16th), West Ham United (18th), Nottingham Forest (19th), Aston Villa (20th), and Bournemouth (24th) are all ahead of the reigning Spanish champions.
Unsurprisingly Lionel Messi-led Inter Miami are the most viewed MLS team in the United States. Ranked 39, they are sitting just behind French champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). LAFC (46th), Portland Timbers (49th), and Nashville SC (50th) are the other three MLS clubs to crack top-50.
German powerhouse Bayern Munich are in 28th place, sitting just behind Brighton & Hove Albion. Inter Milan & AC Milan, meanwhile, are Serie A’s only flagbearers in the top 50.
