The data above is broken down by division, as I wanted to make it easy for fans to see exactly how their team ranks among the other teams in the same division. There really aren’t any surprise division winners here.

Ten Most Popular NFL Teams on Facebook

Dallas Cowboys: 8.29 million Facebook Likes
New England Patriots: 6.66 million Facebook Likes
Pittsburgh Steelers: 5.9 million Facebook Likes
Green Bay Packers: 5.12 million Facebook Likes
San Francisco 49ers: 4.09 million Facebook Likes
Chicago Bears: 3.97 million Facebook Likes
New Orleans Saints: 4.04 million Facebook Likes
Denver Broncos: 4.2 million Facebook Likes
New York Giants: 3.5 million Facebook Likes
Seattle Seahawks: 3.92 million Facebook Likes

Everyone should have guessed the Cowboys would be atop the list – the Cowboys are the most well-known NFL team in the world and many of the Cowboys social media fans are living abroad in countries all over the world.

There really aren’t many surprises. The Giants made the list, as they’re the more popular team in New York among fans outside of the five boroughs. The rest of the teams all have one thing in common – they’ve all won a Super Bowl.

Winning often translates into more fans, especially on social media, where many international fans will follow their team to get the latest news about the team. International NFL fans are much more likely to follow NE or GB than the Jags.

NFL TwitterThe Patriots take the top spot on the Twitter rankings, while the Cowboys take second place. Seattle is 5th on the Twitter rankings, but just 10th on the Facebook rankings – I believe that’s because Seattle is incredibly active on Twitter.
