When it comes to rating the fans of the clubs from best to worst, it becomes very tricky as you take into account factors such as stadium size, fans in attendance and crucially, noise generated.

As a result, GiveMeSport asked X’s Grok AI to rank the 20 clubs’ supporters from loudest to quietest, with some surprising results.

20 Stamford Bridge (Chelsea)

What Grok said: “Hit-and-miss; Matthew Harding End bites on big days, but often absent from top-10 lists due to inconsistency.”

Stamford Bridge has been handed the wooden spoon in terms of their supporters, and based on a matchday, it’s not hard to see why. Chelsea’s fans have never been the noisiest in the world and, barring a super high-profile occasion, it’s rare to really see supporters come to life. That said, if Enzo Maresca can turn the Blues back into title contenders, there’s every chance that this could change.

19 Old Trafford (Manchester United)

What Grok said: “Iconic but criticised for dispersed noise in its 74,879 seats; Stretford End revival helps, but “dipped” per 2025 rankings.”

Old Trafford was historically known as one of the fiercest places for visiting teams to play, but that fear factor has all but disappeared now. Once regarded as the ultimate away-day free swing, clubs up and down the Premier League visit the Theatre of Dreams with the belief that they can pull off a result due to the Red Devils’ recent struggles. That, combined with a leaky roof and a despondent fanbase, means that enthusiasm is in short supply in the red half of Manchester.

18 London Stadium (West Ham)

What Grok said: “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 renowned for being one of the most hostile atmospheres in the Premier League, the London Stadium is anything but. As Grok says, the distance between the stands and the pitch is a nightmare for generating a hostile atmosphere, which is some claim, considering just how passionate West Ham’s fans truly are. As a result, the Hammers’ placing on the list is almost entirely down to the stadium and not through any lack of enthusiasm from supporters.

17 American Express Stadium (Brighton & Hove Albion)

What Grok said: “Modern and open; matured atmosphere, but ‘small ends’ dilute sound-per-fan critiques.”

Brighton is a lovely place to play football, but it doesn’t equate to having passionate supporters. Fans of the Seagulls are loyal and appreciative of the attractive brand of football being played and the recent journeys into Europe, but as far as intimidation factors are concerned, there’s very little on show. Fans on the south coast might not be too intimidating, but catch Fabian Hurzeler’s side in the right mood and that can still be a scary prospect.

16 Craven Cottage (Fulham)

What Grok said: “Riverside charm and passionate locals create a cosy roar; the historic Putnam Stand adds intimacy, but smaller capacity (25,700) limits overall volume compared to cauldrons above. Ranks mid-low in surveys for selective intensity.”

Craven Cottage is one of the loveliest grounds in the Premier League. A stone’s throw from the River Thames and a pleasant walk awaits as you make your way to the stadium. Unfortunately, this means that the atmosphere is less than boisterous. Fans are passionate in their own way, but with little noise generated and a 0% intimidation factor, it’s no surprise that Fulham are at the bottom end of Grok’s fan-ranking list.

15 Vitality Stadium (Bournemouth)

What Grok said: “Smallest PL venue (11,307); proximity creates punchy noise, but limited scale caps overall volume.”

Bournemouth find themselves in the bottom half of the table for fan rankings, but it’s not really their fault. Possessing the smallest venue in the top flight, fans turn out week in, week out and have turned the Vitality into a venue that leaves many opponents feeling a little bit anxious due to what they’re capable of. A club that is very much on the upward curve, Bournemouth’s fans must be respected for what they’ve helped their club achieve despite their comparatively small numbers.

14 Molineux (Wolves)

What Grok said: “Passionate Midlands support in a tight ground; rapid rise adds edge, but mid-table form keeps it mid-pack.”

Sitting in 14th spot on the list, Molineux is a tricky one to assess. Wolves’ fans are a passionate bunch and Molineux itself has an ideal design for generating a fierce atmosphere due to its proximity to the pitch and stands, which are stacked incredibly high. Unfortunately, on-field fortunes mean that there’s not a huge amount to cheer about at present, but let’s get this straight. If Wolves can push themselves up the table, then this club will likely rocket up these rankings.

13 Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (Tottenham)

What Grok said: “Acoustic design for immersion; Postecoglou’s early highs hit strong decibels, though form dips affect consistency.”

A state-of-the-art stadium built to amplify one of the most electrifying atmospheres in football, it’s just a shame that on-the-pitch matters haven’t helped things. While Tottenham won the Europa League last term, there’s been precious little to cheer for on a consistent basis, and that has left fans feeling a little bit frustrated in recent seasons. If Spurs can consistently find that winning feeling, it feels like they’ll become a difficult team to face off against, but until then, they’ll continue to reside in mid-table mediocrity.

12 Etihad Stadium (Manchester City)

What Grok said: “Despite ‘Emptyhad’ jibes, fan data ranks it 6th loudest; Champions League nights hit high volumes in the expanding North Stand.”

Considering the success that fans have witnessed at the Etihad Stadium, Man City’s fans should undoubtedly be higher on the list. Unfortunately, the Etihad is renowned for being one of the sleepiest elite stadiums in world football. Given their recent success, it’s hard to know what it’ll take to invigorate the fans to become one of the Premier League’s fiercer supporter groups.

11 Emirates Stadium (Arsenal)

What Grok said: “Ashburton Army has transformed it; decibels soar with Arteta’s title push, now a ‘carnival’ per William Hill rankings.”

Having moved from ‘Highbury library’, Arsenal’s current ground offered little hope that the atmosphere was ever going to improve after a sleepy introduction to English football. However, recent years under Mikel Arteta have definitely seen the atmosphere improve in north London, with the club really focusing on how to boost the noise with club anthems and all-action stars. The Gunners still have a long way to go to become one of the more respected fan bases in the league, but they’re certainly on the right track.

What Grok said: “Boisterous, organised fans make it a “tough place”; 2025 reports praise its vibrant, non-stop energy in a modern bowl.”

Brentford’s home is surely among the Premier League’s trickiest away grounds for the big boys to visit. As well as the Bees’ ability to pull off an upset on home soil, the Brentford fans create a big atmosphere in a modestly-sized stadium with supporters who love to give it to the other team while also enjoying a pre- and post-match sing-song. The Gtech Community Stadium is always a banana skin for opponents, and that is why fans deserve big credit.

9 Selhurst Park (Crystal Palace)

What Grok said: “Holmesdale End turns it into a ‘cauldron’; small size (25,486) packs in fervour, ranking high for away-team intimidation.”

Another fanbase that always makes it difficult for opposition teams. Selhurst Park can be fierce and intimidating, particularly when they find themselves in something of a hot streak. Supporters in south London have undoubtedly helped the club in their journey to becoming one of the Premier League’s top-10 sides, and players will certainly be “Glad All Over” to have their backing every week.

8 Turf Moor (Burnley)

What Grok said: “Oldest PL ground (1883); compact and hostile, with passionate locals creating intense noise despite 21,944 capacity. Promotion fuels fire.”

“Happy place, happy place: Turf Moor,” muttered Capital Radio’s Jordan North when competing on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! But not many away fans would say the same. Burnley’s home is a hostile, rough and ready ground that makes life very difficult for opponents when they make the trip to Lancashire. No frills, no graces, the Clarets are a passionate bunch who will fight and scrap for every inch in the Premier League, and that’s exactly why their fans are in the top eight in Grok’s rankings.

7 City Ground (Nottingham Forest)

What Grok said: “Mull of Kintyre” pre-match ritual and survival passion rank it top-5 in surveys; intimate setup boosts decibels.”

There aren’t many Premier League stadiums that can rival the City Ground for both scale and intimacy. A huge arena that creates real noise while also having an old-school feel that will leave players feeling intimidated is pretty rare, but Nottingham Forest get that balance almost perfectly. Supporters enjoyed a great season under Nuno Espirito Santo last term, so it’ll be interesting to see if that atmosphere can be sustained this term.

6 Stadium of Light (Sunderland)

What Grok said: “Promoted side’s return revives its 129 dB legacy (2007 peak); large capacity (49,000) amplifies Black Cats’ chants when packed.”

After returning to the Premier League, Sunderland’s fans are certainly making their presence known. With a huge away following and a jam-packed Stadium of Light every other week, supporters are doing everything that they possibly can to try and help the club to avoid relegation this season. If the Black Cats do go down this term, it certainly won’t be down to a lack of support from the stands. After all, Sunderland fans are undoubtedly among the most loyal and passionate in the country.

5 Elland Road (Leeds United)

What Grok said: “Back in the Prem after promotion, notorious for venomous crowds and tight stands. Often cited as “routinely the loudest” in recent Athletic polls.”

There are not many fiercer stadiums in world football than Elland Road. A huge stadium that is filled week in, week out with passionate fans in a one-club city. It’s no surprise to see Leeds so high up on this list. It could be a difficult campaign for the Whites this term, but if the fans have any input at all, Leeds will inevitably battle and scrap until the very end with these intimidating supporters firmly behind them.

4 Villa Park (Aston Villa)

What Grok said: “Holte End drives fierce roars; Emery’s Champions League run has spiked noise, ranking high in 2025 fan votes for tradition-fueled intensity.”

Another of English football’s oldest and most traditional stadiums. Villa Park has it all when it comes to generating a fierce atmosphere. Unai Emery’s side gave supporters plenty to cheer over the last season or two, and some of those Champions League nights were truly spectacular in terms of atmosphere. Things have turned a little bit sour this term due to the team’s mixed form, but if Villa can get themselves back on track, then we’ll see Villa Park retain its status as a true fortress of English football.

3 Hill Dickinson Stadium (Everton)

What Grok said: “New for 2025/26, designed for acoustics with waterfront echoes. Inherited Goodison’s 126 dB record; early reports call it a “cauldron” louder than ever.”

It might be the newest addition to the Premier League, but the Hill Dickinson Stadium is already looking like the real deal. Goodison Park was incredible. The intensity and tight-packed nature of the stadium was second-to-none, and so leaving was always going to be a gamble in terms of atmosphere.

As it turns out, Everton fans had nothing to worry about. A hugely passionate fan base in a stadium that is truly designed with atmosphere at the heart of their plans, Everton’s spot at number three on the list is no surprise.

2 St James’ Park (Newcastle United)

What Grok said: “The Toon Army’s post-takeover energy hits peak volumes; second in SkyBet’s loudest survey. Compact design traps sound for a wall of noise.”

Frankly, it’s a little bit surprising that Newcastle’s fans are only ranked second in this list of supporters. St James’ Park is a fortress like no other in terms of design, atmosphere and unique positioning, with ‘the castle on the hill’ being an iconic sight in Newcastle’s skyline. With over 50,000 passionate Geordies in attendance, St James’ is a stadium that strikes fear into European football’s biggest and best players. Plans for a new stadium are afoot, and Newcastle fans will just be praying that wherever they play their football next can offer the same level of noise as their current iconic ground.

1 Anfield (Liverpool)

What Grok said: “Iconic for ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ and the Kop’s roar; consistently tops fan polls and decibel charts (97 dB average). Arne Slot’s success keeps it electric.”

Football stadiums don’t get much more iconic than Anfield. It might not be the biggest in terms of capacity, but my word, it creates one heck of a noise on a matchday as fans of the Reds get behind their team. The Kop and the pre-match rendition of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ are enough to make the hairs on anyone’s neck stand up, and add to that Liverpool’s fans are surely one of the loudest bunches that you’ll meet, it’s no surprise to see them topping Grok’s list of top Premier League football fans.
