Leon's victory over LAFC in the CONCACAF Champions League final dominated the podium while one MLS fixture made it into the top three.

The viewership numbers for soccer matches aired in the USA between May 29 and June 4, 2023 are in and it produced some interesting results given that there were no Liga MX or Premier League matches. To no one's surprise, a fixture involving one MLS side and one Liga MX club dominated the list as the LAFC-Leon matchup in the CONCACAF Champions League final grabbed the top two spots on the podium.

The honor of the most-watched fixture in the USA last week went to the second leg showdown at the BMO Stadium, which Leon won 1-0 to be crowned the champions. This game brought in 307,000 average viewers for TUDN while 242,000 viewers tuned in to FS1 to catch this encounter, meaning over half-a-million viewers watched Los Panzas Verdes lift the trophy.

Sandwiched between those two broadcasts is the MLS showdown between Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers, which garnered just over 300,000 average viewers. This match, sadly, had no goals as it ended in a nil-nil draw to hand the Thorns a huge blow in the Western Conference.
