📺 Bundesliga TV ratings: These are the league’s most popular clubs | OneFootball

Yes, Bayern are champions again, but which club was really so interesting for the fans last season that they would spend their Saturday afternoon in front of the screen? 'Sport Bild' has evaluated the statistics from the pay-TV providers 'Sky' and 'DAZN' and looked at which club brought the most fans to the screens on average.

Place 18: TSG Hoffenheim

TSG only drew an average of 175,700 fans to the screens, making them the league's bottom club.

Place 17: VfL Wolfsburg

204,800 fans tuned in for Wolfsburg matches last season. That's more people than the Autostadt has inhabitants.

Place 16: SC Freiburg

Due to the hype around the Europa League participation of the Breisgau, there will certainly be more than just 209,800 fans who turn on the TV for a SC game next year.

Place 15: FC Augsburg

On average, 212,400 people wanted to watch the Augsburg games last season.

Place 14: VfL Bochum

Narrow victory over Augsburg: 600 more people wanted to see VfL games on average - making a total of 213,000 fans.

Place 13: Holstein Kiel

Doomed to be relegated in the table, it doesn't look too bad here: 218,700 viewers tuned in to Kiel last season.

Place 12: 1. FC Heidenheim

222,800 Heidenheim fans on average. They could fill the Voith-Arena almost 15 times per matchday.

Place 11: FSV Mainz 05

The performance in the league was much better, but with 229,100 fans, it only ranks 11th in the viewer ranking.

Place 10: Union Berlin

259,800 fans from the capital and all over Germany support the Iron Ones week after week.

Place 9: St. Pauli

They managed to stay in the league, even though many had expected a direct relegation. In the TV ranking, they even climb a few places higher. St. Pauli drew 277,700 people to the TV every week.

Place 8: Werder Bremen

8th place in the league, 8th place in this ranking, they love consistency on the Weser: 319,000 fans supported Bremen from afar last season.

Place 7: RB Leipzig

Not many of them went to the stadium, but they did go to the screens of the republic, specifically 358,400 fans.

Place 6: Borussia Mönchengladbach

The Foals had to deal with a few difficulties this season. Perhaps a reason why the number in the ranking is only 376,500.

Place 5: VfB Stuttgart

The Swabian hype did not stop even last season: 403,300 viewers.

Place 4: Bayer Leverkusen

The reigning champion not only missed the title defense this season, but also the podium: Still, 451,700 people watched the games.

Place 3: Eintracht Frankfurt

Internationally represented again next year and therefore deservedly in 3rd place. With 497,500, almost half a million people watch Eintracht's games every weekend.

Place 2: Borussia Dortmund

729,200 fans were particularly nervous with their Borussia this season. It was a roller coaster ride as it is written in the book.

Place 1: FC Bayern Munich

Also masterfully good in this ranking. With an average audience of 889,470 people, Bayern dominates this ranking.

However, the comparison in this table limps in some places, as not every club played equally often at every kick-off time. Bochum's viewer average is so low partly because VfL was allowed to play 24 times on Saturday at 3.30 pm and had to compete with several games for viewers.

By the way: The game that drew the most fans to the screens was - surprisingly - the reigning champion Leverkusen against the record champion from Munich. 2.38 million people did not want to miss this.

Hoffenheim and Bochum fans have to be very strong now: Only 8000 viewers watched this game, there was no worse average in the entire season!
