The Premier League is known for having the most devoted fans in sport. Every week, the world’s eyes are on the 20 clubs, and they rarely disappoint, providing noise, excitement, and drama from the world’s most popular league.
When it comes to assessing club supporters from best to worst, it becomes quite difficult because elements such as stadium size, crowd turnout, and, most importantly, noise generated must all be considered.
As a result, GiveMeSport commissioned X’s Grok AI to rank the 20 clubs’ fans from loudest to quietest, yielding some unexpected findings.
20Stamford Bridge (Chelsea)
What Grok tweeted: “Hit-and-miss; Matthew Harding End bites on big days, but often absent from top-10 lists due to inconsistency.”
Stamford Bridge has received the wooden spoon in terms of fan support, and it’s easy to understand why on a matchday. Chelsea’s fans have never been the loudest in the world, and it’s unusual to see them come alive, unless it’s a very high-profile event. However, if Enzo Maresca can restore the Blues’ title hopes, this may alter.
19Old Trafford (Manchester United)
What Grok tweeted: “Iconic but criticised for dispersed noise in its 74,879 seats; Stretford End revival helps, but” dropped “per 2025 rankings.”
Old Trafford was once known as one of the most intimidating places for visiting teams to play, but that fear factor has all but vanished. Previously regarded as the ultimate away-day free swing, clubs from all across the Premier League travel to the Theatre of Dreams in the hope of pulling off a result given the Red Devils’ recent troubles. That, paired with a leaky roof and a disgruntled fans, means that enthusiasm is scarce in Manchester’s red half.
18London Stadium (West Ham)
What Grok tweeted: “Bobby Moore Stand can erupt (e.g., Conference League highs), but a vast, athletics-legacy layout scatters noise; often criticised as” echoey “and inconsistent in 2025 polls, dropping it lower.”
While Upton Park was known as one of the most difficult environments in the Premier League, the London Stadium is anything but. According to Grok, the distance between the stands and the ground is a nightmare for creating a hostile environment, which is a bold claim given how passionate West Ham fans are. As a result, the Hammers’ position on the list is almost completely due to the stadium, not a lack of excitement among supporters.
17American Express Stadium (Brighton & Hove Albion)
What he wrote: “Modern and open; matured atmosphere, but ‘small ends’ dilute sound-per-fan critiques.”
Brighton is a great place to play football, but that does not imply that the fans are passionate. Fans of the Seagulls are loyal and appreciative of the attractive type of football being played, as well as the recent trips to Europe, but there is little to no intimidation factor on display. Fans on the south coast may not be intimidating, but catching Fabian Hurzeler’s team in the proper mood can still be a frightening prospect.
16Craven Cottage (Fulham)
Grok wrote, “Riverside charm and passionate locals produce a pleasant clamour; the ancient Putnam Stand adds intimacy, but the smaller capacity (25,700) limits overall volume compared to the cauldrons above. In polls, it ranks mid-low in terms of selective intensity.
Craven Cottage is one of the most beautiful grounds in the Premier League. As you make your way to the stadium, you’ll be a stone’s throw away from the River Thames and in for a delightful walk. Unfortunately, this means the atmosphere is less than lively. Fulham fans are enthusiastic in their own way, but with little noise and no fear factor, it’s no surprise that they’re at the bottom of Grok’s fan-ranking list.
15Vitality Stadium (Bournemouth)
This is what Grok said: “Smallest PL venue (11,307); proximity creates punchy noise, but limited scale caps overall volume.”
Bournemouth is ranked in the bottom part of the table by fans, although it is not entirely their fault. With the smallest facility in the top division, fans turn out week after week, and the Vitality has become a location that makes many opponents nervous because of what they can do. Bournemouth’s fans must be acknowledged for what they have contributed to the club’s success despite their tiny numbers.
14Molineux (Wolves)
What Grok meant: “Passionate Midlands support in a tight ground; rapid rise adds edge, but mid-table form keeps it mid-pack.”
Molineux, ranked 14th on the list, is a difficult one to grade. Wolves fans are a passionate lot, and Molineux is an ideal venue for creating a furious atmosphere due to its proximity to the pitch and extremely high-stacked stands. Unfortunately, on-field fortunes mean there isn’t much to cheer about right now, but let’s be clear. If Wolves can move up the table, they will most likely rocket up the rankings.
