Study: Liverpool now most popular EPL club in U.S.

According to a new Morning Consult survey, Liverpool is considered the most popular Premier League club in the U.S. As the '22-23 season got underway this month, the survey revealed that about 3 in 5 self-identified Premier League fans (61%) said they had either a “very favorable” or “somewhat favorable” opinion of Liverpool. Roughly 1 in 5 U.S. adults (21%) held the same opinion, the most of any club. Manchester United has long been considered the most popular Premier League club, both in the UK and throughout the world, but in the U.S., at least, Liverpool now has them "narrowly beat," based on the early August survey. Following Liverpool and Man U were Manchester City and Chelsea, all within the survey’s margin of error, "while Arsenal rounded out the top five." Liverpool’s emergence, led by Egyptian goal scorer Mohamed Salah, suggests that U.S. soccer fans, who tend to be younger and relative newcomers to the sport, are becoming more knowledgeable about the top clubs overseas (MORNING CONSULT, 8/11).
