Average match attendances in the English Premier League 2021-2022, by club
Which football league has the best attendances?
Prior to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Premier League attendances had generally been on the rise, with an average of 38,484 attending games in the 2018/19 season. Whilst these are impressive figures for a league often dubbed the best in the world, they pale in comparison to those of the German Bundesliga, which had an average attendance of nearly 43,500 in the same season.
Manchester United’s supremacy in danger?
While they remain the most successful Premier League team of all time, Manchester United have found success hard to come by in recent years. Indeed, United’s most recent title came back in the 2012-13 season, which was legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson’s final season of management. This title drought in recent years will have been compounded by the fact that local rivals Manchester City have been crowned champions a number of times since then. However, the Red Devils can take solace in the fact that the club remains one of the most valuable brands in world soccer.
