This article lists the attendances at many sports competitions around the world. The statistics are incomplete but they are sufficient to support the following observations:

• Paid attendance at live sporting events only approaches one event per person per year in a few countries.
• Generally it is highest in the English speaking developed countries, that is the United States and Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland, and Australia and New Zealand. Possible reasons for this are that most of the world's best attended sports originated in these countries and therefore more deeply culturally embedded in them than anywhere else, and that the practice of attending live sport was established in them for several generations before it was challenged by the alternative of watching sport on television.
• Most other developed countries occupy the middle ground in attendances per head.
• Attendances are generally lowest in developing countries. Reasons for this may include a lack of disposable income to spend on tickets, unattractive venues, the relative recent introduction of many sports to these countries, and the emigration of many top local competitors.
• In some countries a culture of regular attendance at sporting events barely exists. For example in China, football is often said to be the most popular sport, and audience of tens of millions are reported to watch overseas games on television, but the top local league drew fewer ticket buyers in 2004 than the league in Norway, which has less than 0.4% of China's population.

Domestic professional leagues

The table below lists domestic professional sports leagues from around the world by total attendances for the last completed season. It is unlikely that any leagues with total attendances over 10 million are missing, but below that level the table is very incomplete at present. A list of professional sports leagues: Auto racing Champcars, formerly CART (Official Page) Formula One, Grand Prix racing (Official Site) IRL (Indy Racing League) (Official Page) NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) (Official Page) NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) (Official Page) Baseball Major League Baseball Minor League Baseball...

Points to consider:

• The correlation between revenue and attendance is quite weak. For example, the NFL is on a par with Major League Baseball financially despite having less than one quarter of the total attendance because it charges much higher ticket prices and has a larger television contract.
• In some cases the figures listed are for main season games only.
• In some sports (mainly North American centred sports) the main league competition provides each club or franchise with virtually the whole of its attendance and revenue. In others, there are multiple competitions, for example leading English football clubs compete in four competitions each season, but only the league competition is listed below.
• In some sports, for example rugby union, international competitions and transnational club competitions provide a significant part of total attendances and revenue.
• Free or heavily discounted seats may be counted by some leagues. No-shows for paid seats may be included in some cases, but not in others.
• Not all leagues publish official attendance figures. Various media outlets produce their own figures and sometimes these do not agree, but the differences in the averages given are usually no more than one or two per cent.
