The 30 Soccer Clubs With the Most Social Media Followers

Real Madrid and Barcelona headline the 30 soccer clubs with the most social media followers as of June 2025, and it's not particularly close with the rest of the field.

There's no doubt Spain's two biggest clubs have a global following helped on by Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's popularity throughout the 21st century. Both players were ambassadors on the world stage helping grow and evolve the game. And, their profiles have further helped expand followings for the other clubs they've played at since departing La Liga.

According to the Football Observatory, Real Madrid and Barcelona have each gained over 44 million followers across social media in the last year. The highest metric by far and the only two clubs to eclipse the 40 million benchmark. Only Atléti, Man City, Liverpool and Santos have gained over 10 million as well.

Inter Miami, Messi's current home, is the only MLS club to crack the top 30. Likewise, Club América is the only Liga MX team to make the cut.
