Stadium capacity often dictates the hierarchy of attendance figures, but our mid-season analysis reveals which clubs are truly maximizing their potential. The table below ranks the top 10 Premier League clubs by Average Attendance for the 2025/26 season to date.
Key Metric to Watch: Beyond the raw totals, look at the % Capacity column. This measures stadium utilization. You will notice some clubs reaching or exceeding 100% – a phenomenon caused by hospitality areas, standing room, and slight fluctuations in available seating versus official listed capacity. This is the truest indicator of a club’s demand and the loyalty of its fanbase.

Our Methodology
The data in this table is not estimated; it is sourced directly from official match reports.
The Official Count: At every Premier League match, the home club releases an official attendance figure. This is typically based on “tickets sold” or “tickets distributed” (which is why numbers can be high even if you see empty seats) or actual turnstile entries, depending on the club’s policy.
Data Entry: These official figures are published in the Premier League’s post-match reports.
Verification: Ournetwork of Data Scouts and administrators manually verify and input these specific numbers into the database for every single game, ensuring the “Average” and “Total” figures you see are a precise aggregation of the season’s official announcements.
Nottingham Forest – the most visited EPL club
Nottingham Forest’s popularity in the 2025/26 season is reflected in near-100% home attendance, with over 304,000 spectators across 10 league games (average 30,478) and two official sell‑outs at the City Ground so far. The club has effectively turned a 30,5k-capacity stadium into a consistently full venue through on-pitch success and a strong emotional bond with supporters.
