2026 College Football Attendance Numbers in the West
Aside from wins and losses, attendance may be the most meaningful measurement of how well a college football team is doing in a season.
Healthy ticket sales reflect a team’s on-the-field success in a given season, but they also pay the bills for a substantial share of an athletic department’s expenses.
However, a game’s reported attendance number doesn’t always tell the whole story of a program’s success or failure. Athletic department budgets vary, and a number that foots the bill for one school may not cut muster for another.
Washington State will never fit 60,000 fans in its 33,000-seat venue, but selling out Martin Stadium every game in a season will likely do more for the WSU athletic department than the same 33,000 weekly attendance figure would do for Washington or USC.
Consequently, the attendance tables below show each team’s attendance by total and as a percentage of capacity.
The tables display the stadium capacities for all 27 SuperWest region teams, along with a running summation of attendance totals and averages for the 2025 season, as well as weekly totals for each week of the season.
(Hawai’i is temporarily playing in TC Ching’s Athletic Complex until the New Aloha Stadium Entertainment District is completed.)
