Ranked! This is how Newcastle United’s following on social media compares with Manchester United, Liverpool, Leeds United and the rest of the Premier League
The Newcastle United takeover made mainstream media headlines in October, but how has that affected their social media following?
Well, research conducted by betting experts Betpack examined the verified social media profiles of each football club in this season’s Premier League to reveal which club has the highest social media following. The analysis was based on each club’s combined number of followers across TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
A spokesperson for Betpack said: “The Premier League is the world’s richest and most popular football league, which is demonstrated in each club’s vast social media following.
“Today, social media completely dominates the way fans interact and engage with the clubs they are passionate about, so it is fascinating to see each club’s popularity across the platforms.”
Using this research, we take you through the social media following of each Premier League side and rank them from least followed, to most followed:
