Figures published by the Rugby Paper show that Tigers averaged 22,878 for their home league games at Welford Road during the 2017-18 season. Begles-Bordeaux, who had topped the list for the previous four seasons, were next with 22,000.
Premiership outfits Harlequins and Bath completed the top four with 18,856 and 18,527 respectively. Both of those figures were helped by moving a game apiece to Twickenham - Tigers were Bath's opponents, drawing 60,000 fans in early April to see a Leicester bonus-point win.
In European competition, Tigers were third in the list. They came in just below the 20,000 mark at 19,856 for their trio of home games. The top two slots were taken by Irish sides, Munster averaging 23,734 at Thomond Park and Leinster's figure of 30,926.

Re: Biggest support in European domestic League's
I was in Limerick last year for work and delighted to find it coincided with a Munster home game (Cardiff in PRO14), thinking I’d get to experience the famous Thomond Park atmosphere. It was a bit of a let down to be honest. Lovely people to mingle with but ground was probably half full (I’m sure we get more at WR for the AWC). Locals told me that this is pretty much the norm now; they only get close to a sell out for Champions Cup and the Pro14 Leinster game. In fact, this was a relatively big game - they play the less attractive PRO14 games at Cork....to crowds of around 5k.
