It's possible that Sunderland being listed top of these five states could be something to do with Netflix's 'Sunderland 'Til I Die' series, which will return for third and final season in the near future.
The Black Cats have enjoyed a reasonable start to life back in the Championship and sit 13th in the table after 16 games following their promotion from League One last season.
Norwich City are the most searched Championship club in the US, with a whopping 18 states keeping tabs on the Canaries.
They top the Championship search in Washington, California, Nevada, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota, Louisiana, Michigan, North Carolina, Virginia, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.
