The Premier League is one of the best-attended leagues in the world and we have ranked each Premier League club by how full their stadium was in 2022-23.

Across the Premier League this season, there has been an average attendance of 40,444 fans. Only the Bundesliga has a higher average attendance in Europe at 42,992.

Seven of the top-flight stadiums have a capacity of over 50,000 which are regularly sold out on a match day. The likes of Manchester United, Tottenham, Arsenal and West Ham have some of the biggest stadiums in Europe.

Old Trafford is the biggest stadium in the league, with a capacity of 74,879. They have had an average gate of 73,815 fans this season, which means that 98.6% of their stadium is full on a match day.

That is only good enough to place the Red Devils ninth on this list though when compared to the rest of the Premier League.

West Ham are the side that comes out on top, filling 99.9% of their ground on a match day. Along with this, they also have the fourth-biggest average attendance in the league with 62,460 match-going fans.

The likes of Newcastle, Tottenham, Arsenal and Everton also fill more than 99% of their ground each week. Differing numbers of away fans each week will also impact these attendances.

Liverpool have had an average gate of 53,177 fans this season, which means that 98.3% of their stadium has been full. Anfield has had plenty of expansions over the years, with further developments currently in the works.

Manchester City fans get plenty of banter online when it comes to empty seats, but they have filled 96.8% of their stadium on average this season. The club are planning another stadium extension soon which will bring their overall capacity to over 60,000.

At the bottom end of the table, Bournemouth rank 20th having filled just 91% of their stadium this season. The Vitality makes for a unique atmosphere and the Cherries have picked up some notable results this year, including home wins against Liverpool and Aston Villa.
