Arsenal ranks 66th in fan engagement index despite Premier League win

Summary

Arsenal is ranked 66th among English football clubs in the 2026 Fan Engagement Index, scoring 85 points out of 240. Despite winning the Premier League last season, the Gunners' score places them behind several clubs, including Brentford and Brighton. The index evaluates clubs based on dialogue with supporters, governance, and transparency, with feedback indicating that many clubs engage in 'box ticking' rather than genuine consultation. Following this assessment, the Independent Football Regulator emphasizes the need for clubs to incorporate supporter input into decision-making processes authentically.
