This article lists the attendances of many sports competitions around the world, based in some cases on the number of tickets sold or given away, rather than people actually present. The list is exclusively field and arena ball sports.

Top Leagues in recent domestic club championship event attendance
This section lists the most recent attendances at annual championship events (single decider matches or the final match in a best-of series only) by total attendance, and includes domestic leagues and competitions. It has to be noted that the listed crowd figures are usually a reflection of a championship venue's capacity, as demand for these events is generally so high that any stadium or arena would be filled to capacity.
The method by which championship venue(s) are determined can indirectly affect the attendance of such a match.
In most competitions that use a best-of final series, each individual match typically takes place at one team's home venue. In the Philippine Basketball Association, a competition in which no team has its own home arena, most finals matches (including any that can potentially end a series) are held at Araneta Coliseum, the country's largest indoor sports venue.
In most competitions that have a one-off final, the site is determined well in advance. Some competitions have a permanent site for their finals. Two notable examples are the Australian Football League, whose Grand Final is always at the MCG, and the Gaelic Athletic Association, which holds its final matches in Gaelic football and hurling at Croke Park. Others determine the final venue anywhere from months to years before the event, such as the NFL, which determines the host of the Super Bowl more than three years in advance.
However, two transnational club events in rugby union (whose final attendances are listed in a separate table) use a very different system. In Super Rugby and the Pro12 (formerly Celtic League), the final is awarded to the finalist that finished higher in the league table during the regular season.
The table is divided into sports that are meant to be played outdoors and indoors. Included in "outdoors" are events held in domed or closed-retractable stadiums but meant to be played in open-air stadiums, while included in "indoors" are events held in domed or closed-retractable stadiums but typically played in indoor arenas.
For the purposes of this table, "domestic" is defined to include leagues which are historically focused in one country, but may have teams in one or more nearby countries. Examples of this phenomenon include:
- Of the six largest professional leagues in English-speaking North America, only the two gridiron football leagues—the NFL and CFL—operate on one side of the U.S.–Canada border. Of the four traditional "major leagues", only the NHL has more than one team in Canada; since 2011–12, it has 23 teams in the U.S. and seven in Canada. Major League Soccer, generally viewed alongside the CFL in a tier below the top four leagues in continent-wide appeal, has 16 U.S. teams and three Canadian teams in the 2012 season.
- The Gaelic Athletic Association, which governs Gaelic games, is focused in the island of Ireland, although teams from London and New York City participate in its senior championships.
- Two major Australian leagues—the National Rugby League (rugby league) and A-League (association football)—have included a team from New Zealand since their inception.
- The vast majority of the teams competing in rugby league's Super League have been from England. Only three teams from outside the country, two from France and one from Wales, have ever competed in the league, and only one of these teams (from France) still exists.
- Although the Challenge Cup of rugby league includes teams from France, Wales, Scotland and Russia, the overwhelming majority of the competing teams are from England.
- The English association football pyramid includes several clubs from Wales, although Welsh clubs do not necessarily participate at every level in a given season. The 2010–11 Premier League was composed entirely of English clubs, but a Welsh club earned promotion from the Football League Championship for the 2011–12 season, and remains in the league for 2012–13.
- The Kontinental Hockey League is overwhelmingly focused on Russia, although it currently has teams in Belarus, the Czech Republic, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Slovakia, and Ukraine.
The Euroleague in basketball is transnational in that it includes teams from multiple European countries, but is domestic in the sense of being a championship for the single entity of Europe. It is governed by Euroleague Basketball (company), an explicitly pan-European body that is independent of the continental governing body of FIBA Europe.
This contrasts with leagues such as Super Rugby and Pro12, which operate in multiple countries with more than one team in each country, and also make no pretense of being a championship for a continental-size region.

Semi-professional and amateur leagues & college
This section lists college and amateur leagues by total attendance. Remaining amateurism requirements in the majority of top-level sports were dropped in the late 20th century, and there are now only a few amateur leagues which are of interest to a wide public. In the United States, college sports are very popular and at least one significant ice hockey league retains an amateur requirement. In Ireland, the All-Ireland senior championships in Gaelic football and hurling, both operated by the Gaelic Athletic Association, which continues to prohibit professionalism, each draw over 80,000 to fill Croke Park for the respective finals.[52]
The NCAA championships listed here are all composed of several separate conferences with varying attendance levels. For example, in American football, per-game home attendances for the highest level of competition, Division I FBS, in 2011 (the most recent season for which official attendance data has been released) ranged from 17,033 for Mid-American Conference teams to 75,832 for Southeastern Conference teams.[53] NCAA Division I FBS football has the 2nd highest average attendance world-wide for any league-wide sport (behind the National Football League) and the 2nd highest overall attendance world-wide (behind Major League Baseball). For College Baseball, Dudy Noble Field, Polk-DeMent Stadium at Mississippi State University holds the on-campus attendance record at 14,991 and all of college baseball's Top 9 on-campus largest crowds.

International club competitions
This section lists the attendances at international competitions between sports clubs. These are usually organised on a continental basis. The teams which compete in these tournaments also compete in the domestic competitions in their home countries.
- 1 Current competition
- 2 Group stage only
- 3 This includes all stages except for the Euroleague Final Four. ULEB, the organiser of the Euroleague, does not sell individual match tickets for the Final Four. Each ticket package sold for that event admits the holder to both semifinal games, the third-place game, and the final.
- 4 Since the competition started in 2005 season, all games were held at Tokyo Dome, Japan. With the major sponsor Konami withdrew from the competition after the 2007 tournament, which caused great financial losses to host the series in 2008. The Japanese organising committee decided to suspend the tournament for the 2009 season, which will replaced by Japan-Korea Champions Contest. After lengthy discussions, Taiwan will host the Asia Series from 2010 onward.
International matches
- 1The World Baseball Classic and World Cup of Hockey are hosted in different regions of the world to boost attendance, as opposed to being hosted in one region like other international tournaments.
- 2Attendances for Group A in the 2010 FIBA World Championship are not available, this figure is derived from games where attendances are recorded. An arena may host as much as four games per day, and patrons pay for all games.
International club championship final events

- ^ The actual number of regular-season games was 2,430. However, there were only 2,420 game dates because 10 regularly scheduled games were rained out and made up as "true" doubleheaders, in which one ticket admitted the holder to two games. "Day-night" doubleheaders, in which teams sell separate tickets to two games in a single day, are counted as two games.
