Here is an overview of the first key figures of the season, including a new record for beer consumption at the stadium.

New record: 19,623 pints of beer consumed at the stadium against OL

Among the key figures of the season, Sparta Prague broke its beer consumption record during the match against Olympique Lyonnais in the Champions League qualifying rounds.

The previous record had dated back to 19 March 2026, during the Conference League Round of 16 match against AZ Alkmaar.

That record was first broken on Matchday 1 of the 2026/27 league season against Zlín, with 17,784 half-litres of beer consumed — an increase of 14.6%.

Just four days later, a new record was set against Olympique Lyonnais in the Champions League qualifying rounds, with 19,623 half-litres of beer consumed at the stadium — the equivalent of 9,811.5 litres — for an attendance of 17,515 spectators at the epet ARENA.
