The Korea Professional Football League, which oversees the professional soccer K-League, announced on the 27th that K-League 1, which is continuing its box-office craze for the 2024 season, has surpassed 2 million cumulative paid viewers.

K League 1 was the best this season with 6,332 spectators attending the Pohang Steelers vs. Incheon United game in the 32nd round of ‘Hana Bank K League 1 2024’ held at 7:30 pm on this day, and 11,219 spectators attending the Daejeon Hana Citizens vs. Ulsan HD game. The total cumulative audience was 2,009,730.

Last year, K-League 1 recorded more than 2 million spectators in 10 years since the 2013 season and for the first time since switching to full paid attendance statistics in the 2018 season, and this season also achieved 2 million spectators for the second consecutive year.

In addition, K-League 1 recorded the lowest attendance of 2 million spectators for a game since the introduction of the promotion system last season, with 2,004,89 spectators attending only 190 games. This time, it exceeded 2 million spectators after 188 games, setting the record for the lowest ever attendance. The record was broken in just one season.

In addition, K League 1 has consistently maintained an average attendance of over 10,000 since the start of this season, and is currently recording an average attendance of 10,690.

Last season, K-League 1 had an average attendance of 10,733 per game and a total of 2,447,147 spectators, recording the largest attendance in a single season of K-League 1 after counting paid spectators. Expectations are high whether that record can be surpassed this season.
