English Premier League Social Media ranking – December 2011

Football Marketing English Premier League social media ranking. The chart presented below show the number of Twitter “followers” and Facebook “likes” for each EPL club. The teams are ranked by their combined number of fans across the two sites. We only tracked the sites / account identified as “official”. Many teams have a lot of unofficial Facebook and Twitter accounts but only “official sites” were monitored.

Positions are unchanged compared to last month but Chelsea is the Premier League club that acquired the most fans. Manchester United has reached 23M fans on Facebook, and still top the ranking despite not having an official Twitter account.
