\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Super\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve ranked the average home attendance of every Super League club across the 2025 campaign to see who fared best, whilst also adding in the averages of the three promoted teams for 2026 to see what can be expected next season.<\/p>\n

Of course, those promoted teams were facing teams with generally smaller fan bases so it would be expected that their attendance figures might spike on account of stronger away followings, but also because more fans might want to watch a Super League side.<\/p>\n

Many have argued that Bradford Bulls<\/a> will be able to draw close to five figures for their home clash with Leeds Rhinos, which is yet to be seen, but they will certainly boast a stronger attendance than in 2025.<\/p>\n

The data used has been taken from Rugby League Project<\/a> with average attendances compiled using home fixtures from the regular season only. That means that Challenge Cup or play-off games do not count.<\/p>\n

Also, where data is not available for all home games (13 for Super League and 12 for the Championship), that is noted so as not to skew any averages.<\/p>\n

How every Super League team\u2019s 2025 average attendance stacks up<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth getting the three promoted sided out of the first, in part because they weren\u2019t in Super League 2025 and their inclusion here is to provide context, but also because they boast the three lowest attendances.<\/p>\n

York Knights do not reveal home attendances so no data is known for them, whilst Toulouse Olympique and Bradford Bulls averaged just over 3,100 and just under 3,700 respectively. Toulouse\u2019s home game against Oldham was not included due to lack of date.<\/p>\n

Promoted Super League teams average 2025 attendance<\/p>\n

York Knights \u2013 N\/A
Toulouse Olympique \u2013 3,116 across 11 home games (no Oldham)
Bradford Bulls \u2013 3,696<\/p>\n

Super League attendance table from 2025<\/p>\n

12th: Huddersfield Giants \u2013 4,225<\/p>\n

The Giants just claim bottom place, something they surely would not want, and a large reason why the club are so keen to move grounds as they cannot come close to filling the Accu Stadium. Their Round One crowd of 5,871 marked their season high.<\/p>\n

11th: Salford Red Devils \u2013 4,235*<\/p>\n

The asterisk with Salford is that the data only accounts for six games with the six others that they completed not having attendances recorded, and the 13th game being the one they forfeited against Wakefield. They will need their loyal fans to stick by them in 2026 should a phoenix club emerge.<\/p>\n

10th: Castleford Tigers \u2013 6,844<\/p>\n

The Tigers worked hard in 2024 to get an average attendance above 7,500 which was the threshold for the maximum IMG points for attendance, however, they fell short in 2025 with just four games surpassing that figure.<\/p>\n

9th: Wakefield Trinity \u2013 7,787<\/p>\n

Trinity had an incredible return to Super League and the fans turned out to witness it with almost 8,000 turning out weekly to watch Daryl Powell\u2019s side. Their season peak came in Round 26 when they shocked Hull KR in front of 9,258 fans.<\/p>\n

8th: Catalans Dragons \u2013 8,661<\/p>\n

Another down year on the field for the Dragons as they missed the play-offs again and saw Steve McNamara sacked after a poor run of form. Like in 2024, their strongest home crowd came late in the season when Wigan Warriors visited.<\/p>\n

7th: Leigh Leopards \u2013 8,825<\/p>\n

Leigh continue to grow as a club, recording their best-ever Super League finish of third and seeing their average attendance jump up by almost 500.<\/p>\n

6th: Warrington Wolves \u2013 10,500*<\/p>\n

A down year for Sam Burgess\u2019 side after the highs of 2024 when they made the play-offs and threatened to win the League Leaders Shield at times. The asterisk here comes as no official attendance was recorded for their home game to Salford, a match the club lost and will likely want to forget anyway.<\/p>\n

5th: Hull KR \u2013 11,182*<\/p>\n

They topped the Super League table but they don\u2019t top this with Hull KR limited by their own stadium in a sense. The Robins constantly recorded home sell-outs meaning attendance varying was typically due to travelling support. The asterisk here comes because their late season game against Hull FC wasn\u2019t recorded.<\/p>\n

4th: St Helens \u2013 11,618<\/p>\n

Saints saw their attendance drop for a third straight year but they still comfortably surpassed the 10,000 fan mark. Loop fixtures also didn\u2019t help them as they faced Salford Red Devils twice and then played Castleford Tigers twice at home in the final eight rounds.<\/p>\n

3rd: Hull FC \u2013 12,159<\/p>\n

Hull FC took a huge leap forward in 2025 and their attendance did so too, however, their home struggles persisted with the Black and Whites playing better on the road for much of 2025.<\/p>\n

2nd: Leeds Rhinos \u2013 14,999<\/p>\n

Leeds Rhinos could not quite crack the 15,000 average, falling one fan short of that but it\u2019s still a very impressive haul and significantly up on their 2024 total by more than 1,000.<\/p>\n

1st: Wigan Warriors \u2013 17,145*<\/p>\n

Topping the attendance table for 2025 was Wigan Warriors with an average of over 17,000 turning up at the Brick Community Stadium each week. The asterisk beside their average denotes the fact they sacrificed a home game when they played in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
