The English Premier League continues to lead as the strongest football league in the world in 2025, according to the latest global ranking published by Lente de Sportiva.
The report highlights the Premier League as the most competitive and most-watched league in global football, thanks to its fast-paced style of play, world-class stars from every continent, strong club identities, and massive fanbases around the world.
Historic clubs such as Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea have helped cement the league’s global appeal, keeping it well ahead of its European rivals.
Spain’s La Liga ranks second, powered by the global attraction of El Clásico — the iconic clash between Real Madrid and Barcelona, still one of the most-watched matches on the planet.
Italy’s Serie A claims third place, maintaining its reputation for a strong tactical identity — balancing defensive structure with attacking flair — led by the likes of Juventus, AC Milan, Inter, Roma, and Napoli.
Germany’s Bundesliga ranks fourth, famous for its full stadiums, fan culture, and fast attacking football, with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund as the league’s premier forces.
In the tenth spot, Major League Soccer (MLS) continues its rise, boosted significantly by increased international player signings — most notably Lionel Messi’s move to Inter Miami, which has drawn global attention to the league.
