At the beginning of August the 2025-26 League One season got underway, with a new set of away days commencing for fans of the 24 third tier sides.
A few divisions below have regional limits, but at this level there is no such thing which makes following your team in League One a complicated task at times. With long away days throughout the nine months of the season fans often place trust in the unreliable train network.
Many teams also find the third tier extremely hard to get out of, with sides often spending years upon years in the division with the same repetitive trips each year in.
Despite this, with sides coming up and down each year, there will always be the occasional new away day for fans to experience. In this article we will take a closer look at the average away attendances for the current season so far, but firstly here is some date we complied that shows the 2024-25 League One away followings.

Key talking points
Stockport County lead the way
Fresh from their club's League Two title-winning campaign in the 2023/24 season, Stockport County fans travelled extremely well during the 24/25 season, averaging just shy of 4,000 away fans per match. If they can continue that this season, then they could push their team to yet another promotion.
Stevenage came up short
At the opposite end of the ‘biggest League One away following' table were Stevenage. Only 251 supporters followed the club on the road last season.
Wrexham continued to shine
Wrexham's Racecourse Ground may be under hefty renovation work, but that hasn't put their fans off from attending matches, especially away from home. Travelling to an entirely different country every other week to watch your team is some effort,
