Premier League Teams Ranked Biggest To Smallest Based On Online Following: Manchester United > 15 Clubs Combined

All 20 Premier League clubs ranked biggest to smallest based on online following: Manchester United have more followers on social media than 15 teams combined.

The Premier League is home to some of the biggest clubs in world soccer.

But what makes a big club?

Some say trophies should be a factor, but surely the main metric to determine the size of any club is how many members it has.

When it comes to professional sports teams, members = fans.

While it is impossible to determine precisely how many fans support each club globally, social media stats can give us a pretty good idea.

After adding up the total number of followers each club currently has on the main three social media platforms - Twitter/X.com, Facebook and Instagram - we can reveal that Manchester United are firmly in first place.

Chelsea are the second biggest club in the Premier League based on social media following, with 120.8m.
