2021 Viewership by MLS Team

Count is how many times the team was on US TV (broadcast and cable). This is English and Spanish Language TV. I have dropped the MLS games that got a zero rating (4 games). Teams with less than 3 games are left off. Univision is not included (no reliable source outside their PR).
