List of record home attendances of English football clubs

This is a list of record home attendances of English football clubs. It lists the highest attendance of all 92 current English Football League and Premier League clubs for a home match.

The overall record is currently held by Tottenham Hotspur with an 85,512 attendance vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the Champions League Group Stage in 2016, while the record crowd on an English club ground is held by Manchester City with 84,569 for a domestic game with Stoke in 1934.

Attendances have gone down since all-seater stadia were introduced, with many records set at the terraced grounds they replaced. In several cases records were achieved at a former ground rather than the club's current location. For example, Wigan Athletic's record was set at Springfield Park, not their current home, the DW Stadium.

For five clubs their record home attendance occurred away from their usual ground. Manchester United's record home attendance was set at Maine Road, the home of neighbours Manchester City, during a period when United's Old Trafford was being rebuilt following damage sustained during the Second World War.

During the 1998–99 season Arsenal played their Champions League "home" matches at Wembley, with the 73,707 attendance against Lens exceeding the record for Highbury, whilst Spurs also played their Champions League games at Wembley stadium in the 2016-17 season. Similarly Accrington Stanley's record home attendance was set when the club played an FA Cup home tie at Blackburn's Ewood Park instead of their usual home, the Crown Ground, and Stevenage's record was set when the club played a "home" FA Cup tie against Birmingham City at Birmingham's St Andrews ground.
