Super League 12-Team Attendance Record

The 2025 Betfred Super League season is set to break the all-time cumulative attendance record for a 12-team competition, which was previously set in 2008.

The highest to date was 1,602,299 in 2008, but this weekend’s Round 27 is anticipated to take the 2025 cumulative attendance beyond that milestone.

This year’s regular season has been strong from the outset, passing 1 million fans by the 100th match back in July. Heading into the final round, another 47,115 fans are needed to set a new record following 64,226 attendances in Round 26 - the fifth highest attendance across the Super League in 2025.

Round 27 promises plenty of drama: Hull KR could be crowned League Leaders for the first time in Super League history if they defeat Warrington Wolves on Thursday. If Hull KR are unable to secure victory, Wigan Warriors still have the chance to take top spot if they beat Leeds Rhinos – though a considerable points difference stands in their way. Leigh Leopards are aiming to secure the club’s first top 3 finish in their home game against Huddersfield Giants, and the final play-off place also remains up for grabs, with Wakefield Trinity and Hull FC both battling to secure their spot on the road to Old Trafford.

Rhodri Jones, RL Commercial Managing Director, said:

“This has been a landmark season for the Betfred Super League, with records broken both on and off the field. To see cumulative attendances reach new heights in the final round of the regular season is a fantastic reflection of the passion and commitment of our fans and the 12 Super League clubs.

“The play-offs and build-up to the Grand Final always deliver drama and excitement, and it’s fitting that we head into this stage of the year having already set a new benchmark. Ticket sales for the Grand Final are also very strong, which underlines the momentum building towards the biggest night of the season.”
