Premier League Attendances 2024/25: Who had empty stadiums?

Attendance at matches is vital in gauging a team's success, especially in determining a football club's revenue and fan dedication. The Premier League 2023/25 attendances reveal some interesting statistics.

Manchester United, Tottenham and Liverpool are three of the best teams in the 2024/25 season so far, enjoying significant revenue from match attendance. West Ham is once again among the EPL teams witnessing the highest attendance, noting that the Hammers led in average match attendance last season. Arsenal and Man City follow close in the top six.

West Ham topped this list with 99.9% of their capacity for their 19 home matches, while Bournemouth were bottom, with only 91% of their capacity filled across their league campaign.

The main talking points

English Premier League teams have a massive global following, resulting in huge home game attendances. Here are some interesting points about the 2024/25 attendances.

Liverpool rake in more numbers this season

Liverpool currently sits 11 points clear at the top of the English Premier League, and the statistics support this success. The Reds are experiencing one of the best home match attendances, placing them third overall in average attendance for the league. In contrast, last season, Liverpool struggled with attendance, ranking among the bottom four teams in the Premier League for poor numbers.

Arsenal, Tottenham and West Ham remain top of the attendance stats

There hasn't been much of an improvement in attendance numbers, but Tottenham, West Ham and Arsenal continue to show impressive attendance statistics this season, just as they did in 2023/24. All three teams, based in Greater London, had well-attended matches last season, and this trend is evident again in the 2024/25 season with these London clubs.

Manchester United outdoing themselves

Manchester United struggled to get their supporters behind them last season as they were ranked ninth in the attendance stats. However, they currently sit above the rest in the  2024/25 Premier League match attendance stats. The departure of Erik Ten Hag and consequently, the improving numbers at Old Trafford are largely attributed to the improvement in team performance we have seen in recent weeks.
