Football is one of the most popular sports in the world, and it's no surprise that some of the biggest teams have amassed a huge following.

The Gunners, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Barcelona are all close behind, each with millions of followers across various social media platforms. But which team has the most followers? Real Madrid is the clear winner when it comes to followers on social media.
With 54.1 million Facebook followers, 41.2 million Facebook followers, and 12.5 million YouTube subscribers, they have more than double the following of Arsenal, who are in tenth place. The Spanish giants have also accumulated a huge following across TikTok and Instagram, with 4.9 million followers on both platforms. Manchester United is the biggest club in England and has a large global appeal due to their sustained success over the years. A survey conducted by the club several years ago reported that Manchester United had more than 650 million fans worldwide, and recent reports estimate as much as 750 million.
The club is popular for its rich heritage and numerous incredible players have been linked to it. FC Barcelona and Real Madrid are the most popular teams in La Liga with a combined following of 464 million followers on social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The Spanish champion has a large following on Twitter due to their strong presence on TikTok and in Arabic-speaking communities, which no other Western team can compete with until now. No matter where you are in the world, it seems that football (or soccer for those outside North America) is king. People all over the world love to watch the game and they have their own favorite team, which they support. Although some people are loyal fans, some people may change the club they admire for some reasons, such as the transfer of players, the number of club wins in that year, etc. Real Madrid is one of the most supported teams in the world and takes the crown as the most popular club with 277.7 million followers on social media.
Manchester United follows closely behind with 175.9 million followers, while PSG and Juventus round out the top five with 144.56 million and 117.2 million followers respectively. The Kaiser Chiefs and Club America are two of the most popular football teams in their countries, but they can't seem to transcend borders like other major organizations. In fact, they are the only football clubs in the top 10 of the most valuable Forbes sports teams in the world. Every year thousands of football matches are played among hundreds of teams, several transfers are carried out and numerous award ceremonies are held. Consequently, the number of fans of these football clubs is increasing or decreasing every year. Which football team has the most followers? Real Madrid is undoubtedly at the top of this list with 277.7 million followers on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
