Major League Soccer players in the United States get paid more than the majority of soccer players in the world, but are by no means the top earning players in the world of soccer. The league minimum wage for 2013 is $35,125. The AVERAGE MLS player salary is about $135,000 a year, with 249 players in the league making over $100k. Thatâs a huge step forward from just 10 years ago when many MLS player salaries were not enough to pay the bills, forcing them to get jobs outside of soccer to supplement their income.
MLS attendance has grown since the early 2000s. The average attendance of 21,692 in 2016 was a 57% increase over the 13,756 average in 2000. The total attendance of 7,375,144 in 2016 is more than triple the 2,215,019 total of 2002.
