Zigmas Pekarskas, CEO of Smart Betting Guide, comments on the study: “The Premier League is the most popular sports tournament in the world. As a landmark of Great British history stretching back to the 19th century, it’s no surprise that over 4.7 billion people tune in to watch the exhilarating 38 matches.
“Burnley takes the crown. They are accompanied by other clubs in the North of England – Sheffield, Newcastle United and Manchester City – although it is interesting to see multiple London-based clubs in the top ten – West Ham United, Luton Town and Crystal Palace – as the South is usually associated with higher costs for transport, hotels and food.”
