The world league ranking
The short answerThe Premier League is the strongest league in the world on The Beaumont Index world ranking: its average club is 0.62 goals per 90 minutes better than an average club from Europe's top five leagues. LaLiga (2nd) and Bundesliga (3rd) follow. We rank 228 leagues and 3,837 clubs, with results to 25 October 2026.
How sure are we? Every rank comes with a range: the world ranks our 80% band allows. Narrow ranges mean plenty of data and well-connected leagues; wide ones mean treat the exact position loosely. How the ranking works

FAQ
What is the strongest league in the world?
The Premier League. Its average club is 0.62 goals per 90 better than an average top-five-league club; LaLiga is second and Bundesliga third.
Where does the Eliteserien rank?
22nd of 228 leagues: its average club is 1.23 goals per 90 worse than an average top-five-league club, with a rough rank range of 10th to 31st. Its best club, Bodø/Glimt, is 26th in our world club ranking.
How is league strength measured?
From matches between clubs of different leagues, in Europe, in continental competitions and in cups, which link every league onto one scale. A league's score is the strength of its average club.
Why are some leagues marked provisional?
Either little evidence links the league to the rest of the world, or our two kinds of evidence (match results and player moves) disagree strongly, or some club names are still unresolved. Where the doubt is serious we show only a rank range, not an exact rank.
How often does it change?
After each weekly model run. Leagues with few cross-league games move more, which is why each has a range.

Strength is how many goals per 90 minutes the league's average club would be better or worse than an average club from England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France combined. The bar shows the 80% range; the rank range is how far the league could plausibly move. Ranks skip a few numbers where a league has no clubs this season yet. Provisional leagues carry a one-line reason. Where the doubt is serious (our evidence types disagree strongly, club names are unresolved, or there are no cross-league matches) we show a rank range instead of an exact rank. Results to 25 October 2026; model rebuilt weekly.
