Attendances across the Isthmian League rose by more than 20 per cent in August and September compared with the opening two months of last season.
The Isthmian League says crowds across its divisions increased by more than 20 per cent during the first two months of this season compared with the same period in 2025-26.
Its figures show the sharpest growth in the South East Division: almost 55 per cent. The North and South Central divisions each recorded increases of 37 per cent.
The Premier Division attracted almost 64,000 spectators, up nearly four per cent. League chair Nick Robinson linked the broader growth to clubs' work in their communities as well as performances on the pitch.
The league's report also identifies Whitstable Town's 1,873 crowd against Margate as the third-highest individual attendance of the campaign so far. It credits Neil Pilcher with compiling and calculating the attendance statistics.
