Crowds

Every figure below is drawn from the 55 of 73 played matches that carry a recorded gate (75.3%), spanning 2009–2026. A match with no figure is left out rather than counted as an empty ground — the archive stores an unknown gate as a zero, and averaging those in would quietly drag every number on this page down.

Grounds, and How Full They Get

Estádio do Sport Lisboa e BenficaLisboa · 23 matches · avg 26,997 · best 50,314 · Capacity 68,10039.6%

“How full” divides the average gate by the ground’s capacity today. Grounds shrank when they went all-seater, so a historical average can exceed a modern capacity and read over 100% — the old Estádio da Luz is the clearest case. Minimum 3 recorded gates per ground.

By Kickoff Time

Evening (18:00–19:59) ×923,282

Night (20:00 and later) ×1429,385

Kickoff times cover only the 24 recorded home gates that carry a time as well as a date — most of the archive stores midnight where the time is simply not known, and those are excluded rather than filed under a small-hours kickoff that never happened. The day of the week, by contrast, is trustworthy on every row.
