PWHL attendance to surpass 1 million fans for first time

The Professional Women's Hockey League is approaching an attendance milestone in its third season.

Total attendance entering this week was 976,219 through 105 games, just shy of 1 million fans for the first time.

The latest boost came with Saturday's sold-out crowd of 17,850 for the first PWHL game at Boston's TD Garden.

The average of 9,297 fans per game is a nearly 29% increase over last season's attendance numbers.

Only 15 games remain in the 2025-26 regular season as five teams are battling for the fourth and final playoff spot.

The 2025-26 PWHL Takeover Tour, which included 16 games at 11 neutral sites, averaged 12,477 fans per game.
