Crowds
Home & AwayEvery figure below is drawn from the 1,757 of 4,280 played matches that carry a recorded gate (41.1%), spanning 1910–2026. 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. 1 match was played behind closed doors and is excluded.

Season by Season
Average gate per season, newest first; each bar is scaled against the best season shown. A season missing from this list has no recorded gate at all, which is not the same as a season nobody attended.

Estádio Dr. Magalhães Pessoa66.8%“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.
When We Draw a Crowd
By Day of the Week
By Kickoff Time
Kickoff times cover only the 600 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.
