Top 10 trending sports teams in the US on Google in 2022

3. Golden State Warriors

Even though the Golden State Warriors ranked at No. 9 globally under “sports teams,” the team only falls at No. 3 in the U.S. The 2022 NBA champions notably had high interest in several countries including Haiti, the Bahamas, Senegal, Puerto Rico, Jamaica and the Philippines to contribute to the global trend. 

In the U.S., the Warriors saw their biggest peak in interest around the time of the NBA Finals in June. Mac McClung was the top rising topic (up 3,300% in search) while Stephen Curry was the No. 1 overall top-trending player for the team.
