Women's soccer[]

WUSA, WPS, NWSL attendance[]

These lists include the top-attended league matches from WUSA (2001–2003), WPS (2009–2011), and NWSL (2013–present), split into standalone matches and matches that were doubleheaders with MLS teams. [41]

Standalone matches[]

The Washington Freedom of WUSA hold the overall attendance record. Portland Thorns FC held the top six NWSL attendance records until the debut home game of the Orlando Pride in 2016, which set the new NWSL record; that record was eclipsed by the Thorns in 2019. The Thorns consistently draw over 14,000 fans and averaged slightly over 20,000 in their most recent 2019 season; until that season they were the only NWSL team to have drawn over 10,000 fans more than thrice – continued strong numbers from Utah Royals FC and a club-record post-World Cup standalone match from the Chicago Red Stars[42] pushed both clubs to their fourth 10,000-plus attendances.
