At the top across Europe! Bayern outshines top clubs

The Allianz Arena is also a crowd-puller on the international stage. For UEFA home games this season, FC Bayern has achieved perfect attendance.

The Allianz Arena remains one of the best-attended stadiums in Europe. A recent analysis by football-md.com shows that, for home games in UEFA competitions, FC Bayern has achieved an attendance rate of exactly 100 percent so far in the 2026–27 season.

This puts the Munich club at the very top in Europe. Only one club can keep pace with the German record champions: the Czech club FC Hradec Králové has also achieved a perfect 100 percent attendance rate at its UEFA home games so far.

However, there is a significant difference in the size of the venues. While the Allianz Arena holds around 70,000 spectators for international matches, the stadium in Hradec Králové has a capacity of only about 9,300. Bayern’s perfect attendance rate is thus even more remarkable, as it is achieved with a capacity many times larger.

Several European powerhouses follow closely behind. According to the analysis, Juventus has a 99.5 percent attendance rate, while Manchester United and PSV Eindhoven each have 99.4 percent. Paris Saint-Germain has 99.0 percent, and Atlético Madrid has 98.3 percent.

The Allianz Arena has been virtually sold out for years

It comes as no surprise that Bayern faces nearly limitless demand for tickets even on the international stage. Even before the season began, all of the record-holding champion’s Bundesliga home games were sold out. For certain top matches, the club even received several hundred thousand ticket requests.

The Bundesliga classic against Borussia Dortmund in particular recently demonstrated just how high the demand has become: According to FCBinside, there were nearly 350,000 requests for this match. Mathematically speaking, FC Bayern could have filled the Allianz Arena several times over with that number.

In previous attendance rankings as well, the Munich club was already among the best in Europe. In early 2026, FC Bayern ranked directly behind Borussia Dortmund in terms of average attendance in European club soccer. The Allianz Arena was also operating at 100 percent capacity at that time.

The latest analysis from football-md.com now focuses specifically on home games in UEFA club competitions. The same picture emerges there: As soon as FC Bayern plays an international home game, virtually every available seat is filled.

Behind Bayern and Hradec Králové come Juventus, Manchester United, PSV Eindhoven, Paris Saint-Germain, Atlético Madrid, RC Lens, FC Porto, and AFC Bournemouth. While the gap at the top is narrow, one thing is certain: only two clubs currently achieve 100 percent capacity.

For FC Bayern, this once again underscores the enormous demand surrounding the club. A direct comparison with Hradec Králové in particular highlights the scale of Munich’s numbers: 100 percent attendance with an international stadium capacity of around 70,000 seats is currently unique in Europe.
