Premiership tops Euro attendances per capita again

Scottish football supporters have topped a European attendance chart for a third year running, the SPFL says.

Citing a Uefa report, the league body say “football fans across Scotland have recorded significantly higher top-flight attendances per capita than any other league in Europe”.

First launched in 2023, Uefa’s latest European Club Talent and Competition Landscape report revealed:

SPFL group chief executive Neil Doncaster said: “It’s fantastic to see that the SPFL William Hill Premiership continues to lead Europe by some distance in attendances per capita.

“The passion of Scottish football supporters across the SPFL’s four divisions is rightly renowned, and they deserve enormous credit for their phenomenal commitment to our national game.

“Scottish football attendances have consistently punched well above their weight for many years. After three record-breaking seasons for attendances, we are looking to build on that momentum throughout this season.”

The SPFL added that a record total of 5,336,353 attended SPFL matches last season, up 185,000 on the mark set the previous season.
