Most popular sports in America
By: Isabel Strack
The most popular men’s sport in America is football also known as the NFL. Almost 37% of Americans have said that football is their favorite to play, or enjoy watching. The NFL also has the highest number of people who show up to their games, which is 67,591. This league has 32 different football teams.
The season starts in September and ends in December, with every team playing 16 games. As the best teams advance we go into playoffs, which lead into the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl is the biggest annual sporting event in the country.
The NFL also gets the highest TV ratings as it is on every Sunday during football season. In 2014, a record of 167 million people watched Super Bowl Sunday.
The most popular sports for women in America are women’s basketball and women’s soccer. Both of these sports are big options for many girls in high school and college.
Women’s college basketball has a world wide fan base of almost 50 million. The women’s basketball TV rate has 56% of viewers tuning in to watch. The WNBA popularity is due to the first pro year of college students like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and Cameron Brink who all brought attention to college women’s basketball during the previous year’s NCAA tournament (NCAA stands for National Collegiate Athletic Association). They set new scores during this tournament and also set new records for scoring and viewership during their undergraduate careers. As these women athletes were recently drafted into the WNBA many of their fans followed them. Their fans boosted ticket and merchandise sales, and TV ratings. The Olympic events are also very popular with 35% of viewers tuning in.
In college, women’s soccer is also a popular choice. In 2023, soccer was one of the most popular women’s sports to watch on TV. They have 74% of viewing hours. The national women’s soccer league has a fan base of almost 36 million people.
