Average = home league matches only, cup ties excluded. “Full” = average divided by the capacity listed in our stadium guide. “vs 2025-26” compares with the club's average home gate last season, whichever division it was in (noted “new” for clubs with no league figure last season). Clubs with fewer home games have played more away fixtures so far; the ranking settles as the season goes on.

About these figures

Attendances are the official figures announced by each club, which in England count tickets sold or issued rather than people through the turnstiles. That is why a ground can show as 100% full on a day with visible empty seats, and why some clubs' numbers are debated. We only count league matches at home, so a cup run does not inflate a club's average. Capacities are the current figures from our stadium guides, which include away allocations and any sections closed for safety or building work.
