popular football leagues


Football is the world’s most popular sport, of that there is no doubt. There are currently over 3 billion fans enjoying football games around the globe, many of whom play the game for fun as well. However, those who don’t enjoy playing the game, enjoy wagering on it.

Football and Betting

Football has a loyal and dedicated betting audience. Estimates put the total amount of money bet on soccer at over 200 billion dollars, worldwide. The online sports betting market has significantly contributed to the popularity of sports betting, and especially football wagers.

For the unaware, online bookies are sites that cover notable sports events, and come out with fair and balanced odds. One of the most notable of these websites is Novibet, a bookie that is famous for its detailed coverage and pretty respectable bonuses.

With online sports betting, many football events have grown in popularity. Which begs the question, what are the most popular football leagues to bet on? In this article, we will answer that very question.

The English Premier League

If we focus on the seasonal leagues that take place every year, then we certainly can’t do a list like this without bringing up the English Premier League. The EPL is England’s top-tier football league, featuring some of the most popular sports clubs worldwide, including Manchester City and Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool.

Of course, it is the most popular sports competition in England, but what makes the EPL special is that it gets attention worldwide. When most people consider getting into football, they don’t look at their own local leagues, but rather turn on the English Premier League instead. Naturally, that means that there is a lot of money that goes into betting on the EPL. To be precise, over 60 billion Euros were wagered on the EPL in 2021/2022. Who knows how much that amount has grown since.

The Spanish La Liga

The Spanish League, known in Spain as the Campeonato Nacional de Liga de Prima, and better known as La Liga to the rest of the world, is the second most popular football league in the world. It is to be expected, as it is the stomping ground of Real Madrid, the club that currently holds the honor of being the most popular football club in the world. Real Madrid’s greatest rivals, Barcelona, are also a staple of the league, and its current champions.

Much like with the Premier League, La Liga attracts fans from all over the world. Which means it attracts bettors from all over the world. Going by the same statistical analysis done in 2022, estimates state that 42 billion Euros were spent on La Liga wagers during the 2021/22 season. Which places La Liga comfortably on the second spot on our list.

Honorable Mentions

The five major European football leagues are all incredibly popular betting events. We already discussed the EPL and the La Liga, but that doesn’t mean that Bundesliga, Serie A, Euro and Ligue 1 are any less popular. All of these leagues see upwards of tens of billions of Euros in wagers every year.

Gaziantep, 11th, no longer plays anything in the championship except to grab a place among the places of honor in the top 10. We cannot hope for better by winning only one of their last 16 matches in the elite. Since its victory against Antalyaspor 1-4, GFK has had 3 matches without success including 2 defeats on the lawns of Fenerbahce 4-1 and during the previous day on the field of Rizespor 2-1. Meanwhile, the local team was held to a draw by Alanyaspor 1-1.  On the other side of the median, Kayserispor is asleep at the bottom of the table but can still enjoy a position between now and the last day.

First relegated by occupying 16th place in the ranking, Kayserispor, with 23 points, is only two lengths behind Genclerbirligi. Away, the visiting players have not won since the 14th day, at the end of November. To date, they have lost their last two games on the road against Samsunspor 2-1 and Kasimpasa Apaches 2-0. During the previous day, Kayserispor had no say in receiving Fenerbahce 0-4.

Winner of the German Cup 2 years ago, Bayer Leverkusen is no longer very far from being able to play in another final in this competition. But he will have to compete against the big favorite for the final victory for what may be a final before his time. So far, Kasper Hjumland's players have been impeccable in this competition, easily dismissing Grossaspach 0-4 and Paderborn 2-4, dominating Borussia Dortmund at home 0-1 then winning in style against Sankt Pauli 3-0 in the previous round. At the same time, in the championship, the 11 of the Factory is at the gates of the top 4 qualifying for the Champions League after having won 2 great successes against Wolfsburg 6-3 then against Borussia Dortmund 0-1 again. Next weekend, Bayer Leverkusen will aim for a 3rd victory in a row at home against Augsburg. Bayern Munich, for their part, is on the foundations of an absolutely historic season.

Opposed to Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the visitors hosted the Merengue last Wednesday in the return match after winning the first leg at the Bernabeu 1-2. On the national scene, Vincent Kompany's band leaves only crumbs to their opponents, in particular in the Bundesliga where they could win the title last weekend with the reception of Stuttgart next weekend since they are 12 points ahead of Dortmund, their first pursuer. The Bavarians also remained on 3 consistent successes obtained against Union Berlin 0-3, Friborg 2-3 and against Sankt Pauli 5-0. In the German Cup, Bayern successively dismissed Wehen 2-3, Cologne 1-4, Union Berlin 2-3 and finally Leipzig 2-0.
