With the conclusion of the Atlantic League regular season on Sunday, it’s time to tally 2023 MLB Partner League attendance numbers. We’ll begin with a listing ranked by total attendance.
Generally speaking, it was another good year on the 2023 MLB Partner League attendance front, with many teams up from 2022 and two of the four leagues up in total attendance as well. The four MLB Partner Leagues are the American Association, Atlantic League, Frontier League and Pioneer League. There are other independent leagues in the baseball marketplace, including the Mavericks Independent Baseball League and the United Shore Professional Baseball League, where multiple teams play at a single venue. While the Pecos League is now at 16 teams (including travel squads), that league does not report attendance, so we do not include those teams in this ranking.
Here is our list of 2023 MLB Partner League attendance, ranked by total attendance. Next: a ranking by average attendance.
