Southampton, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City
Kicking off proceedings is Southampton’s St. Mary’s Stadium, the home to the newly promoted side from the south coast. By numbers, they have the worst percentage of match-goers, which is 96.2% – 31,147 of their 32,284-seater on the south coast.
They are joined at the bottom of the rankings by relegation-threatened Wolverhampton Wanderers. Having sacked Gary O’Neil and replaced him with Vitor Pereira, there is, slowly but surely, a feel-good factor returning to Molineux, which has been filled to just 96.3% of its capacity thus far in 2024/25.
So far, despite their fine start to proceedings this time around, there has been 97.1% of Villa Park filled. That figure is slightly bettered that of Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur, who have struggled to pull up trees in the Greek-Australian’s second season in charge.

All 20 Premier League stadiums ranked by fans on which has the worst atmosphere
Fans have ranked each Premier League stadium based on atmosphere, with a newly promoted team being voted as the worst.
Considering the size of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (62,850), having an average of 61,344 (97.6%) attendees per home game is still mightily impressive. Leicester City, in Ruud van Nistelrooy’s bid to stay afloat, have seen a plethora of fans tip up on match days. Just 1.4% of the King Power Stadium, which boasts a capacity of 32,273, have been without a fan when welcoming a fellow top-tier side this term – but that could drop if they do not get out of the rut.
15-11
Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, Brighton, Liverpool, Bournemouth
Brighton & Hove Albion sharply follow, with the Amex Stadium a source for feel-good football under several different regimes in recent times. Nowadays it’s Fabian Hurzeler who gets the crowd rocking, with the Premier League’s youngest manager attracting more than 99% of the stadium’s capacity during the weekend’s fixtures.
What works in Bournemouth’s favour is the size of their stadium. The Vitality Stadium only holds 11,329 match-goers, which, in turn, should make it simpler to fill. That said, the Cherries still rank just 11th with a percentage of 98.9%.

Brentford, Everton, Ipswich Town, Arsenal, West Ham United
Thomas Frank’s Brentford may have one of the smallest Premier League stadiums, but, much like Andoni Iraloa’s side above, that doesn’t help in the rankings – with them residing smack bang in the middle, in 10th, with 98.9% of the Gtech Community Stadium full when hosting a Premier League match this term.
Everton are looking to move away from Goodison Park in the not too distant future, which may make the battle of reaching a sell-out all the more difficult. The Toffees faithful manage to cram in enough fans to make up 99.1% of their capacity.
Ipswich Town supporters, despite being new to the trials and tribulations of England’s top flight, have backed the Tractor Boys in their pursuit of survival by turning up in droves so far. An average of 29,766 (99.2%) fans fill up Portland Road during home fixtures when factoring in safe-standing areas.
Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium is one of the best grounds in the English top flight but that doesn’t necessarily translate into high percentages of selling tickets and seeing fans flood the concourse pre-match. In terms of the north Londoners, their fans fill up 99.3% of their stadium on home matchdays.

Newcastle United, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Chelsea, Manchester City
Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United have always had a raucous fanbase – both home and away. In terms of the former, the Magpies’ supporters often arrive in their thousands when their side is playing at St James’ Park. In fact, an average of 52,206 fill their 52,338-seater, which is recognised as one of the best stadiums in Premier League history.

The latest on every Premier League club’s stadium and potential expansion plans, including Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea, Man City and more.
By virtue of their brilliant start to Enzo Maresca’s inaugural season at the west London helm, Chelsea have seen a slight uptick in terms of attendance at Stamford Bridge as the Italian steadies the ship. They go through the trouble of filling their 40,173-seater 100% but their fans remain as loyal as ever.
And for all the public noise about Manchester City and their perceived lack of atmosphere due to the lack of attendees, the data suggests differently. Of all 53,400 tickets they have on offer for home matches, Transfermarkt’s data has suggested they have a 100% attendance rate.
