Newcastle United's 2025/26 average attendance compared to Premier League rivals after Forest win
Newcastle United have enjoyed healthy crowd numbers in the Premier League so far this season.
52,189 fans watched Newcastle United beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
That’s the third-lowest of the four league matches hosted at St. James’ Park so far this season, but only 100 fewer than the attendance for the 2-1 defeat to Arsenal at the end of September. As a result, the Magpies’ average crowd now stands at 52,191, continuing the trend of minor attendance growth in each of the last four years, in which the club have grown into trophy-winners and Champions League contenders.
