The 2024/25 season has officially wrapped up across all major European leagues, with UEFA club competitions concluding in May. It was an exhilarating campaign across Europe’s top five leagues: Liverpool matched Manchester United’s record of 20 top-flight titles in England, Barcelona edged Real Madrid in La Liga, Napoli ignited celebrations in Serie A, Bayern Munich reclaimed their throne in the Bundesliga, and PSG continued their dominance in Ligue 1.
Meanwhile, South American leagues continue into 2025 and Major League Soccer is ongoing. Across the globe, tens of millions of fans have flocked to stadiums to cheer on their clubs during the 2024/25 season. Even as the cost of attending matches continues to rise, supporters’ loyalty and passion remain unwavering. Leveraging exclusive data from Transfermarkt, we’ve analyzed which clubs worldwide achieved the highest average attendance during the 2024/25 season.
Highest Average Attendances of the 2024/25 Season
River Plate’s Mâs Monumental Stadium saw an average of 84,782 fans attending matches during the 2025 Torneo Apertura — the highest average attendance globally for the recognized 2024/25 season. The Argentinian top division stretches into 2025, so River Plate is only halfway through their campaign, having played eight home games so far. The devotion of Buenos Aires fans is unparalleled. Following closely are two Bundesliga giants: Borussia Dortmund in second with 81,355 and Bayern Munich in third with 75,000.
As illustrated above, Manchester United (73,815) leads all English clubs in average attendance, while Real Madrid (72,692) boasts the most in Spain. Three Italian clubs — AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Roma — feature prominently in the top ten, with Marseille representing France. Celtic ranks 16th and is joined by Flamengo as the only other non-European club inside the top twenty, besides River Plate. Barcelona currently sits 34th due to their temporary relocation to the Olympic Stadium during renovations at the Camp Nou. Once their iconic home is completed, they are expected to return to the summit of global attendance.
