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.

This Castellon team wants to defend its 6th place which it could have lost in the event of Las Palmas' success earlier in the afternoon. Still, the local players have their destiny in their hands, and a success today would repel the onslaught of the residents of the Canary Islands. In addition to the distance match with Palmas, Castellon is brimming with ambition and could overtake Burgos in fifth place in the event of the latter's poor performance the day before. Before considering anything, the club located in the province of Valencia must return to the path of success since last weekend, by conceding the point of the draw in Albacete 1-1, it recorded a 6th day of the championship without success after a first draw against Cultural Leonesa 1-1 and above all three defeats in a row against Gijon 4-1, Real Sociedad B 4-2 and at home against the boss of the championship: the Racing Santander 1-3.Almeria is playing the leading roles this season in Liga2, being in 2nd place in the standings with, at the start of this day, a small length behind Racing Santander.

The state of form is really good for the Andalusians, who, despite their defeat at the turf of poorly ranked Zaragoza 2-0, have won 7 of their last 10 matches in the league. At home against Ceuta 4-2, Andorra 3-2, Cordoba 2-1, Cultural Leonesa 3-0 and last weekend for the visit of Real Sociedad B 5-1. Note the 2 other away successes on the lawns of Huesca 1-3 and Cadiz 1-2.

Coming down from the 1st division, Leganes are playing with fire in the 2nd division this season being only 16th in Liga2 with 5 lengths ahead of Zaragoza, their opponent of the day. The most worrying thing for the Pepineros is that they are unable to string together victories having won only one of their last seven league games, when they received Ceuta 5-2. A victory which called for another, but last weekend, as part of the previous day, the players of Butarque could not do better than a draw in Malaga without a goal scored 0-0. During these seven days, Leganes lost three times, against Valladolid in a decisive 3-2, Eibar 0-1 and Cordoba 2-1.

 Opposite, Zaragoza is therefore, at the start of this 33rd day, the first club affected by relegation, being 19th with 3 points behind Valladolid. Unlike Leganes who cannot find a solution to string together a few victories, Zaragoza has won three of its last four matches in Liga2, losing only once on the lawn of Deportivo La Coruna 2-1. The victories were written on the lawn of Cadiz 0-1, for the reception of the 2nd in the championship, Almeria 2-0 and even more surprising, during the previous day, against the leader of Liga2, Racing Santander 2-0.

Winner of the FA Cup in 2018, Chelsea have since lost in the final three times in 2020, 2021 and 2022. This season, the London team defeated Charlton 1-5, Hull City 0-4 and Wrexham 2-4 after extra time in the previous rounds. In the Premier League, the Blues now occupy 6th place with 6 points behind the Big 4. They have let go recently, as evidenced by the only success acquired during the last six days, for 2 draws and 3 defeats. After winning in style in the lair of Aston Villa 1-4, Chelsea lost against Newcastle 0-1 and Everton just before the international break 3-0.

 Big surprise of this season in the FA Cup, Port Vale dismissed Maldon & Tiptree 5-1, Bristol Rovers 1-0, Fleetwood 1-0, Bristol City 1-0 after extra time and Sunderland 1-0 to reach the quarter-final. Back in League One 3rd division this season, the Valiants are not up to par. Good last in the ranking, they are, with two games less, 14 points behind the first non-relegation team. After beating Bolton 1-0, Port Vale restarted a bad dynamic with losses suffered against Doncaster 1-0 and Wycombe last weekend 4-0.

Winner of the FA Cup in 2023, Manchester City then fell in the final in 2024 and last year. To reach the quarters this season, Pep Guardiola's gang took over Exeter 10-1, Salford 2-0 and Newcastle 1-3. In the Premier League, the Skyblues now occupy 2nd place in the standings with one game less and 9 spending points behind the leader. After stringing together four wins, they dropped valuable points against Nottingham Forest 2-2 and West Ham 1-1. Beaten by Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the Champions League, Manchester City on the other hand won a title just before the international break by beating Arsenal in the League Cup final 2-0. In the current FA Cup rounds, Liverpool defeated Barnsley 4-1, Brighton 3-0 and Wolverhampton 1-3.

For the Mersey club which won the competition in 2022, the task promises to be more difficult on the Manchester City pitch this Saturday. The Reds are currently 5th in the Premier League and are 5 points behind the Big 4 but 5th place could ultimately qualify for the next Champions League. Unable to win in the last three days, they were held to a draw at home by Tottenham 1-1 and otherwise lost to Wolverhampton 2-1 and Brighton 2-1. Next Wednesday, Liverpool travels to PSG to play their Champions League quarter-final first leg.

This 2025-2026 season should not go down in history for this Borussia Mönchengladbach team which should only ensure the essentials by validating its maintenance over the coming weeks. This team is in fact stuck in the 2nd part of the table, in 13th place in the ranking, but it still has a relatively comfortable lead of 5 points over the first relegation at the start of this 28th day. Always as irregular in their last outings, the Poulains were able to win against Union Berlin 1-0 before logically falling on the lawn of Bayern Munich 4-1 then recovering against Sankt Pauli 2-0. Finally, before the international break, Eugen Polanski's men had to settle for a good point on the Cologne field 2-2. Opposite, the ax should soon fall on the side of FC Heidenheim whose relegation to the 2.

Bundesliga is no longer in much doubt 7 days before the end of this exercise. The red lantern of this Bundesliga has in fact a loss of 9 points on the barrage and 12 points on the first non-relegation before the last 7 days and it does not seem at all in a position to rebel over the coming weeks. As proof, the FCH had chained 3 defeats in a row against Werder 2-0, Hoffenheim 2-4 and Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 before stopping the bleeding against Bayer Leverkusen before the international break 3-3. More generally, Heidenheim has not won since December 6.

With only 28 points taken in 27 days, Werder is not yet out of the woods in the race to maintain. This local team has, however, been able to give itself a lot of fresh air in recent weeks after having flirted with the relegation zone for a very long time. As proof, Daniel Thioune's men have just won 3 times in the last 4 days played against Heindeheim 2-0, Union Berlin 1-4, Mainz defeated 0-2 and finally against Wolfsburg 15 days ago during a decisive duel in the race to maintain. Thanks to these successes, the Werderaner have moved up to 14th place in the rankings, now 5 steps ahead of the red zone.

Far from all these considerations for maintenance, RB Leipzig is fighting to try to finish in the top 4 of this Bundesliga and thus qualify for the next Champions League. For the moment, this team is well and truly in its transition period since it occupies 4th place in the ranking, with the same number of points as the 5th, Hoffenheim, which it largely beat before the international break 5-0. Before that, the Saxons had already won 2 important successes against Hamburg 1-2 and Augsburg 2-1 but they had on the other hand been dominated on the field of another contender for the top 4, Stuttgart 1-0.

4th in La Liga, Atlético Madrid knows very well that it is no longer in the title race, especially after its defeat in the Madrid derby against Real Madrid before the international break 3-2. The last projects for the Madrilenians this season are the Copa del Rey and the Champions League. Quite anecdotally, Atlético will have to deal with Barça again in the quarter-finals of the C1 from next week. At home, Diego Simeone's men have won their last 6 matches in all competitions including a volley inflicted on Barça in the semi-final first leg of the Copa del Rey 4-0. In the process, the Rojiblancos extinguished Espanyol Barcelona 4-2, Club Bruges in the second leg of C1 4-1, Real Sociedad 3-2, Tottenham in the 1/8th final first leg of the Champions 5-2 and finally Getafe in the championship 1-0.

For its part, FC Barcelona still held a 4 point lead over Real Madrid at the start of this day, but Real Madrid had the opportunity to come back very close, at a short length if successful in Mallorca earlier in the day. These last few weeks have been contrasting for Hansi Flick's Barça, winner of only one of their last 4 away matches in all competitions including 2 defeats against Atlético Madrid in the semi-final first leg of the Copa del Rey 4-0 and in the championship on the pitch at Girona 2-1. In the Champions League, before literally blowing Newcastle away at home 7-2, the Blaugrana were dominated in the first leg without losing the match 1-1. Before the international break, Barcelona won timidly against Rayo Vallecano 1-0, thus securing a 5th victory in a row in La Liga after Sevilla 5-2, Athletic Bilbao 0-1, Villarreal 4-1 and Levante 3-0.

18th and therefore under the threat of relegation, Mallorca absolutely needs to take points in this gala poster. The atmosphere is likely to be bubbling at La Palma especially as the Mallorcans won their last home game against the Catalans Espanyol Barcelona 2-1. This success ended an early series of 2 home defeats against Real Sociedad 0-1 and Bétis 1-2. Over the last 10 days of La Liga, Kosovar's partners Vedat Muriqi have lost 6 times for a total of 3 victories. Victorious in the Madrid derby against Atlético Madrid before the international break 3-2, Real Madrid took their revenge for the victory conceded in the first leg in September but they also preserved their chances of the La Liga title by remaining 4 points behind Barça.

Today, it's up to Barcelona to challenge Atlético, and therefore, the Merengue have every reason in the world to want to win in order to temporarily come back to within one point of their Blaugrana rival. The latest misstep for Alvaro Arbeloa's men came against Getafe in La Liga, losing 0-1. Since then, the Broncos have had 5 successive successes in all competitions including a double victory against Man City in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League 3-0 and 1-2 as well as a nice success at home against Elche in La Liga 4-1.
