New poll finds about 3 in 10 adults follow women's sports

  • The Associated Press-NORC poll conducted April 17-21, 2025, found about 3 in 10 U.S. Adults closely follow women's professional or college sports.
  • This poll used NORC's probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel to represent the U.S. Population and measured close following as 'extremely,' 'very,' or 'somewhat' closely.
  • The survey showed about half of U.S. Adults follow men's sports, with more fans frequently attending events and men's sports having larger leagues and media deals.
  • About 90% of adults who follow women's sports also follow men's sports, while about half of men's sports fans follow women's sports, indicating significant fandom overlap.
  • The poll suggests women's sports are growing in popularity and accessibility, but have more casual fans and less team attachment, affecting attendance compared to men's sports.
