Fewer arrests at matches, more incidents reported
The Home Office reported a 4% increase in matches with police-reported incidents of anti-social behavior, violence, and disorder during the 2025-26 football season in England and Wales, with reports at 1,644 games. Despite a decline in total arrests compared to previous seasons, new categories such as sexism and violence against women contributed to the rise in reported incidents. The report also highlighted that nearly half of arrests and actions occurred outside stadiums, prompting calls for increased funding of football policing, as taxpayers currently bear the costs.
