Chelsea holds the title of the poshest Premier League team boasting an impressive overall score of 9.68/10. Its home stadium, Stamford Bridge, is situated in one of the UK’s wealthiest areas where the median house price reaches £1,357,500. Meanwhile, Chelsea residents, as the nation’s highest earners command a gross annual pay standing at £41,892 – nearly £7,000 above the national average of £34,963! 

Fulham clinches the second spot scoring a poshness score of 9.53/10. Leading in private school density with seven establishments per 100,000 people within the Hammersmith and Fulham borough, coupled with a total of seven high-end supermarkets in the vicinity, Fulham rightfully earns their posh identity.

Achieving a remarkable 7.84/10 in poshness, Tottenham Hotspur narrowly edges out fellow North London club, Arsenal (7.63/10), securing a spot in the top three podium. Not only does it beat Arsenal in the presence of ‘posh’ supermarkets, but the Spurs Stadium also ranks as one of the most expensive ever built. It is among the world’s most hi-tech, costing approximately one billion to complete. 

Arsenal, on the other hand, excels in property value and yearly gross income, both standing at a coveted £657,500 and £41,335, respectively. Propping up the top five list is Crystal Palace, the biggest South London club, garnering a final poshness score of 6.95/10

Bournemouth claims sixth place as the first non-London team (6.47/10), having the fourth highest number of independent schools per 100,000 people among all clubs analysed. Completing the top ten poshest Premier League teams are Brighton and Hove Albion (5.95/10), Burnley (4.84/10), Newcastle United (4.68/10) and Brentford (4.53/10).

Nottingham Forest claims the accolade to be the least posh Premier League football club (1.58/10), with the gross annual income in the Nottingham authority being the lowest at £23,377, and having only two ‘posh’ supermarkets in the area.
