Premier League 2025-26: Ranking The Stadiums On Atmosphere
What sets up the match? It is, of course, the players who are in the foreground as they give their best. But there are many things in the background which sets up the match, like the rivalry between the two sides, the fans, the noise they create in the stadium, the vibe or the atmosphere of the stadiums, etc. Each and everything drives the players to push themselves harder for the respective teams they play for.
We often debate which stadium has the best atmosphere. So, in this article, we have collected the data from sites like the92.net, footballgroundmap.com, and other similar sites, which collect reviews from fans themselves. Let’s move ahead with ranking the Premier League stadiums on the atmosphere.
Based on fans’ votes collected from different sites, here is the ranking of the Premier League stadiums on the atmosphere.
20. London Stadium (West Ham United)
Despite West Ham’s passionate following, the London Stadium’s layout has never quite clicked with fans. The running track, the distance from the pitch, and the soulless design make it difficult to generate the kind of atmosphere that once made Upton Park a fortress. The Hammers faithful still try, but this just isn’t home.
19. Emirates Stadium (Arsenal)
The Emirates is sleek and modern, but many Arsenal fans agree—it can feel too quiet. There’s history in the crowd, and some big European nights do buzz, but week-to-week, the atmosphere rarely intimidates. A far cry from the raw edge Highbury once provided.
18. Vitality Stadium (AFC Bournemouth)
A charming, tight ground, but with a capacity of just over 11,000, it’s hard to compete with the roar of larger stadiums. Bournemouth fans are loyal and knowledgeable, but the sheer size and setting limit the impact they can create on a matchday.
17. Etihad Stadium (Manchester City)
A stunning venue and a dominant team, but the Etihad has often been criticised for lacking consistent noise. It’s not a question of numbers—City have plenty of support—but sometimes it just doesn’t come through loud enough, especially in routine fixtures.
16. Old Trafford (Manchester United)
One of the world’s most iconic stadiums, but even United fans will admit the atmosphere has dipped. With nearly 75,000 seats, it should be deafening—but the noise can feel dispersed. That said, on a good day, with a big opponent, the roar of the Stretford End still sends chills.
15. Craven Cottage (Fulham)
Historic, picturesque, and undeniably unique. Craven Cottage oozes charm, but the atmosphere is more genteel than guttural. Fulham fans are classy and loyal, but it’s more of a polite cheer than a wall of noise.
14. Brentford Community Stadium (Brentford)
Still building its identity, this modern ground houses a very committed fanbase. Brentford’s support has grown stronger with every passing season, and while the atmosphere is promising, it doesn’t yet match the giants of the division—though they’re getting there.
13. Turf Moor (Burnley)
This classic northern ground punches above its weight. Turf Moor can be an intimidating place for visiting teams, thanks to close-quarters stands and a no-nonsense crowd. The volume spikes when Burnley are on a run, and there’s an old-school charm here that’s becoming rare.
12. Stamford Bridge (Chelsea)
When Chelsea fans are up for it, the Bridge can be lively, especially in the Matthew Harding and Shed Ends. But inconsistency in both form and feeling has made the stadium’s atmosphere feel hit-and-miss. Still, there’s bite when big rivals roll into town.
11. Amex Stadium (Brighton & Hove Albion)
The Amex has matured into a proper Premier League ground. Brighton fans have built a strong, supportive culture, and the sound in the stands reflects their recent rise. While not the most hostile place to visit, it is one of the most united.
The Brown Ale stand? No such stand fella.
The stadium is referred to as the gallowgate? No, the gallowgate is referred to as the Gallowgate!
How can you get so much wrong in one paragraph? I’m assuming you done some research?
There’s no John Hall stand either. Jesus this is way off!
Leazers stand, Gallowgate stand, Milburn stand, East stand.
How have you managed to get this so wrong?
