Which Premier League fans travelled the furthest in October?

October has ended, and fans of Premier League teams braved the cold to watch their sides in action, with the table now taking shape.

Travelling and supporting became more difficult as the weather soured, though some trips were admittedly longer and more challenging than others.

Here, FootballGroundGuide takes a look at which Premier League fans travelled the furthest in October 2026, using straight-line distances from stadium to stadium.

Brighton & Hove Albion fans travelled the furthest in October

Of all the teams in the Premier League, no side's supporters have had to travel further in October than Brighton & Hove Albion, whose fans trekked 876 miles (not counting return journeys).

The Seagulls supporters had to travel three times in that month, with their longest trip to Sunderland's Stadium of Light (345.5 miles), though trips to Anfield (269.1 miles) and the Etihad (261 miles) were also lengthy.

In second place were fans of Leeds United, whose trips to Bournemouth (259.7 miles), Arsenal (190.8 miles) and Sunderland (96.9 miles) totalled roughly 547 miles of travel.

Newcastle United come in third place with a total of 504 miles, consisting of away trips to Coventry City and Crystal Palace, with the visit to the latter's Selhurst Park seeing Toon fans trek 308.8 miles.

Ipswich Town are fourth in this list with a total travel distance of 431 miles following games away to Manchester City and Hull City.

Coming in at number five are Sunderland, whose distance of 393 miles came after clashes with Bournemouth and Coventry.

All the way at the other end of the spectrum, Crystal Palace supporters only had to travel 62 miles in the month of October.

The Eagles visited Brighton's Amex (46 miles) and Tottenham Hotspur's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (15.6 miles) in that time.

Palace only travelled slightly less than Coventry City fans, whose only away trip was to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, totalling 96.9 miles.

Supporters of Manchester City travelled 122 miles to watch their team against Liverpool at Anfield (35.4 miles) and Aston Villa at Villa Park (87 miles).
