Rankings: Every Super League club’s 2024 attendances

We’re six rounds in to the 2024 Super League season, and Serious About RL have ranked every side’s attendance figures so far.

The opening day of the season saw the largest attendance so far this season, with 20,014 fans packing in to the MKM Stadium to see Hull FC vs Hull KR.

Meanwhile, we’ve just seen the lowest attendance of the season at Plough Lane in Wimbledon, with the club estimating a figure of 2,300 fans watching London Broncos against Huddersfield Giants.

Below are the rankings for all 12 Super League clubs.

Every Super League club’s 2024 attendances, ranked

12. London Broncos – 3,711

Unsurprisingly, the capital club are bottom of the rankings.

It’s their first Super League season in Wimbledon, and their long list of homes over the past few decades has meant they’re yet to find a stable fanbase.

However, their highest attendance for over a decade came in Round One this year, with over 5,000 fans at Plough Lane to welcome Catalans Dragons.

Fans of the football club, AFC Wimbledon, have been working hard to try to build crowds for the Broncos’ games, with free tickets being handed out on football matchdays to ticket holders in pubs near the ground.

It’s a 10-year lease, and if the club’s on-field exploits improve, the crowds may also begin to improve.

11. Salford Red Devils – 5,518

The attendance for their first home game of the season, against Castleford, was just 4,770, but this has improved week-on-week, with their attendance for Rivals Round against Leigh at 6,177.

This is in no small part down to the on-field quality in 2024, and at the 12,000-capacity Salford Community Stadium. there’s a lot of room for further improvement.

10. Huddersfield Giants – 5,805

It can be depressing to watch games at the John Smith’s Stadium sometimes – it’s been less than 25% full on average this season, and their attendance in Round Five dropped significantly from their first home game of the season.

9. Leigh Leopards – 8,651

In the final round of the 2023 season, Leigh broke 10,000 for the first – and only – time, improving on a previous club-record of 9,012, set in 2017 against St Helens.

They’re not too far off that figure now, and two very similar attendances (8,508 and 8,794) have kicked the 2024 season off healthily.

This is despite relatively poor performances this season, and could see an up-turn. It’s worth noting that Leigh have hosted Wigan since and recorded an impressive 10,308 attendance figure, their highest in Super League, but this hasn’t been included in the data.

8. Castleford Tigers – 8,745

For a town with just 45,000 residents, this is a club that has some seriously impressive attendances.

7. Catalans Dragons – 8,983

The league’s only non-English club bring a lot to the competition, and also bring good numbers… at least to home games.

They were just 86 away from 10,000 in their Round Four win over Hull FC, with their average agonisingly close to 9,000 over their three home games this season.

They’re adding some temporary stands at the Stade Gilbert Brutus for upcoming fixtures, so it looks like the Catalan side are expecting some good numbers going forward.

6. Warrington Wolves – 9,709

Their Rivals Round attendance of 11,214 was their highest this season, and almost 3,000 higher than their Round Four attendance too.

On-field performance seems to be having an important effect this year on attendances across Super League, and the Wolves are no different.

They stumbled against the Dragons, so it’ll be interesting to see what their next few attendances look like.

5. Hull KR – 9,868

The Robins aren’t releasing official attendances on social media or online this year, but they’re obtainable via the Supporter Council Meeting minutes.

Every home game has been announced as a home sell-out.

Rovers have sold-out their last six home games, and have taken good numbers on their travels so far in Super League.

They’ve also reached 8,000 memberships – a number even higher than their average 2023 attendance.

Craven Park may need some expansion efforts if they’re to move up the rankings.

4. Hull FC – 13,434

Hull FC have had a torrid season so far, with just one victory – a last-gasp win over London Broncos, who are propping up the rest of the division.

They do have the highest attendance of the season so far – 20,014 in Round One against Hull KR – but this is far above their other home attendances this year, which are 10,062 and 10,227.

They could sink below their city rivals as the season continues, but for now, they can take some solace in the fact that they’re above them in the rankings after Round Six.

3. St Helens – 14,154

The Totally Wicked Stadium has seen some spectacular rugby over the past few seasons, and this is backed up with similarly-spectacular support.

Saints have the second-highest attendance of any game this season – their Derby win in Round Six was watched by a huge, near-capacity, 17,980-strong crowd.

They’re consistently watched by over 11,000 fans this year, and this trend will likely continue if the results follow early-season trends.

2. Leeds Rhinos – 14,859

One of the biggest names in British rugby league without a shadow of a doubt, and some of the biggest crowds too.

The iconic Headingley Stadium has seen consistent crowds of over 14,000 this year – in fact, the fourth, fifth and sixth-highest attendances at games this season, with no side getting more than their lowest attendance more than once this year.

Hopefully that was explained well.

Anyway, in simple terms: Leeds are excellently-supported.

1. Wigan Warriors – 15,357

Wigan have only had one home game in Super League this season, as their home game against Leigh Leopards in Round Two was postponed due to their involvement in the World Club Challenge.

However, that one home game – against Huddersfield Giants in Round Three – was watched by 15,357 fans, which puts their average above any other club in 2024.

This is the third-highest attendance of any game so far this season.

It’s worth noting that half the clubs in Super League had their highest attendance in their first home game of the season, and this figure may well be brought down by their next home fixtures, but for now, the world champions have the highest average home attendance in the league in 2024.
