Following on from league reports on the AFL and NRL, new research from Roy Morgan has found Sydney FC is the A-League Men’s most supported club, with a total of 640,000 supporters, and an increase of 32.2% from a year ago.

The league’s most successful club, winning three of the last five championships, is followed closely by ‘Big Blue’ rivals Melbourne Victory, with 632,000 supporters. The Victory are the league’s second most successful team, having won four championships in total, most recently in 2017-18.

Support for clubs is up over the past year league-wide, with newcomers Macarthur FC attracting 84,000 fans just one year in the league, more than doubling Western United, Victoria’s latest top tier club in its second year in the competition.
