How we calculate this

Based on 380 finished Premier League matches in 2025/26. Yellow and red cards are counted per team from official match data supplied by our data provider; a second yellow counts as a red. Cards per game is the club's yellows plus reds divided by games played. Home and away yellows per game use home and away games separately. Opponents' cards per game is the cards shown to the teams that club played against. Updated weekly. See also Premier League referee stats.

Frequently asked questions

Which Premier League club gets the most cards?

The table is sorted by cards per game (yellows plus reds), so the club at the top is the most-booked side in the selected season.

What does opponents' cards per game mean?

It is the number of cards shown to the teams a club plays against, per game. A high figure means opponents tend to get booked a lot when facing that club.

Are clubs booked more away from home?

Compare the home and away yellows per game columns. Across the league, away sides are usually booked slightly more often than home sides.

How often is this updated?

Weekly. New finished Premier League matches are added every Monday morning.
