Short answer: Real Madrid (index 100) and Barcelona (98.7) lead Google Trends worldwide for 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2026, almost level. Arsenal (50.7) is a distant third, then Manchester United (41.4) and Manchester City (40.3). Google publishes relative interest only, never counts.
Which football club do people look up most on Google? Not one but two answers come out of the last twelve months: Real Madrid and Barcelona sit so close together that the gap between them is smaller than the gap between Arsenal in third place and anyone below.
A note on the numbers first. Google does not publish search counts. Google Trends gives relative interest: Real Madrid is set to 100 as the most-searched club of this list, and a club at 50 drew about half as much interest over the same twelve months. That is the only unit used on this page.
Which are the 100 most searched football clubs on Google?
The full list is below, from 1 to 100. The country column is added to make the spread easier to see; the index comes straight from Google Trends.

Who are the ten most searched clubs?
1. Real Madrid (100)
The leader of the list, and the club that sets the scale for everyone else. Real Madrid went out of the 2025/26 Champions League in the quarter-finals, losing 6-4 on aggregate to Bayern Munich, according to UEFA. Even so, the club reported record revenue of €1,221 million for 2025/26 in its own results announcement. For the fans’ side, see how many followers Real Madrid has on social media.
2. Barcelona (98.7)
Only 1.3 points behind. Barcelona won the 2025/26 LaLiga title, the 29th in the club’s history and a second in a row, as the club said on fcbarcelona.com on 10 May 2026. In the Champions League they lost the quarter-final to Atlético Madrid, 3-2 on aggregate (UEFA).
3. Arsenal (50.7)
The biggest story of the top ten: Arsenal are third, ahead of every other English club and of Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich. They won the Premier League with 85 points, their first title in 22 years, seven ahead of Manchester City (Premier League), and reached the Champions League final in Budapest, where they lost to Paris on penalties after a 1-1 draw (UEFA). Their history is in Arsenal: history, records and achievements.
4. Manchester United (41.4)
United finished third in the Premier League and qualified for the Champions League, and Bruno Fernandes set a Premier League record of 21 assists in a season (Premier League). See also Manchester United: history, records and achievements.
5. Manchester City (40.3)
City are only 1.1 points behind United. They were second in the league, and Erling Haaland won the Golden Boot with 27 goals. Nico O’Reilly scored both goals in the 2-0 League Cup final win over Arsenal (Premier League). More in Manchester City: history, records and achievements.
6. Liverpool (38.2)
Liverpool are sixth here after finishing in the top five of the Premier League and qualifying for the Champions League (Premier League). Andoni Iraola took over as head coach for 2026/27, as the club announced. Read Liverpool: history, records and achievements.
7. Paris Saint-Germain (37.4)
The reigning European champions are only seventh. Paris won the 2025/26 Champions League final against Arsenal on penalties in Budapest on 30 May 2026 and so retained the trophy, their second in a row (UEFA). Two titles in two years have bought less Google interest than Arsenal’s single run to the final.
8. Chelsea (31.7)
Chelsea sit 8th, behind Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain, with a lead of 2.8 points over Bayern Munich. See Chelsea’s players of all time.
9. Bayern Munich (28.9)
Bayern won the 2025/26 Bundesliga, with the title decided on matchday 30 by a 4-2 win over VfB Stuttgart (Bundesliga), and reached the Champions League semi-finals before losing 6-5 on aggregate to Paris (UEFA). They are the only German club in the top 25 of the table.
10. Galatasaray (24.8)
The first club from outside the big five leagues, and ahead of Atlético Madrid by just 0.2 points, with Inter Milan, Tottenham and Juventus further down. Galatasaray lead the Turkish clubs, with Fenerbahçe in 13th.
What stands out in places 11 to 25?
Clubs from outside Europe’s big five leagues take a large share of this group. Palmeiras (21.8) are 12th, Fenerbahçe (21.1) 13th, Al-Nassr (14.1) 16th and Santos (13.2) 18th, with Boca Juniors (11.7) in 22nd and São Paulo (8.6) just outside at 25th. A Brazilian club is therefore in the top 12, ahead of Inter Milan (16.4) and Juventus (14.0), which are 14th and 17th.
Italy has a thin presence: Inter (14th), Juventus (17th) and AC Milan (19th, 12.0), none of them above Galatasaray. Tottenham (15.5) are 15th, and Aston Villa and Newcastle United share 11.9 in 20th and 21st. Tottenham finished 17th in the Premier League but are still the sixth English club in the list (Premier League); Aston Villa qualified for the Champions League. Real Betis (9.6) and Beşiktaş (9.5) close the group.
What stands out in places 26 to 50?
English clubs fill ten of the 25 places here, led by Leeds United (7.9, 28th) and Crystal Palace (7.7, 29th), and the Spanish clubs have five: Athletic Club, Real Sociedad, Rayo Vallecano, Villarreal and Celta Vigo. The surprises are the big European names that have slipped down: Benfica (8.4, 26th), Borussia Dortmund (8.2, 27th) and Napoli (7.5, 30th) all sit below Leeds, and Roma (7.1) is level with Athletic Club.
South America holds on with Grêmio (31st) and Internacional (37th), and Al Hilal (5.7, 43rd) is the second Saudi club in the list. Sunderland (5.2, 49th) and Bournemouth (6.1, 41st) are in the list just behind the better-known London clubs; both finished in the Premier League’s European places last season, in seventh and sixth (Premier League).
What stands out in places 51 to 100?
The lower half is where the range narrows: from Sevilla (5.1, 51st) to Adana Demirspor (0.1, 100th) is only five index points, against 100 for the leader. This is the most international part of the table. Germany has 11 of the 50 places (Leverkusen, Stuttgart, Leipzig, Frankfurt, Schalke and others), Turkey six (Trabzonspor, Samsunspor, Konyaspor, Kayserispor, Sivasspor and Adana Demirspor), and the Netherlands three, with Ajax (4.5), Feyenoord (3.1) and PSV (3.0).
Some well-known names are lower than expected. Bayer Leverkusen (4.2, 58th), Porto (3.9, 60th) and Lazio (4.0, 59th) are all within one index point of each other, and Ajax and Celtic (4.5 each) are level with Brentford (4.7). Rangers (3.2) are 66th, while Celtic and Rangers are the only Scottish clubs in the list. Alianza Lima (2.8, 73rd) is the only Peruvian club, Lech Poznań (1.4, 87th) the only Polish one.
The English clubs here include recently promoted or relegated sides: Ipswich Town, Hull City and Coventry City (each at 2.0 to 2.2) are in the 2026/27 Premier League after promotion, according to the Premier League, while Southampton, Leicester City, Sheffield United and Luton Town sit between 79th and 95th.
How was this ranking measured?
The data comes from Google Trends, using topics rather than plain keywords, so “Arsenal” and “Arsenal F.C.” count as one. All figures are worldwide web-search interest for 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2026, averaged weekly. Google allows five topics to be compared at a time, so the clubs were compared in groups of five against fixed anchor topics and chained into one scale, with Real Madrid at 100. A value under 1 is shown as “<1”. Club names are given in their common form, without F.C. or S.K. suffixes.
122 clubs were measured. The candidates were every club in the earlier versions of this post and of the Premier League version, plus the 20 clubs of the 2026/27 Premier League from the Premier League. Some of the clubs measured are no longer in a top division: West Ham United, Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderers were relegated from the Premier League at the end of 2025/26 (Premier League). This is a measure of search interest, not of size or trophies, and the precision does not go beyond the index.
