The best soccer influencers aren’t simply the accounts with the most followers. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X all show posts to people based on how the post performs individually, not just based on who follows the creator. As a result, a small or midsized account can reach more people than one several times its size.
That’s why we rank soccer influencers by median views of their posts (the average number of people a typical post reaches). As of November 2026, the five most watched are Céline Dept, Futcrunch, Tom Harris Football, Fabrizio Romano, and ELASTICO KING.

We analyzed the 728 posts these 37 creators published on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X in the last 30 days. Of those, 99 beat their creator’s usual views by 3× or more.
Here is how this month’s breakouts open, read from what each post says in its first seconds, or from its caption or first line when nobody speaks.
“Jack, don’t be nervous.”
Zlatan says that line to Jack Downer as the clip opens, and the skills test is already underway. There is no hello and no setup.
Jack Downer 1.1M views · 4× their usualMore breakouts opened this way than these creators’ usual posts did. A coach shouts a correction across a pitch, a GoPro catches a teammate yelling for the ball, or two strangers are already mid-game in the street. A brand’s best spot is inside the moment, because there is no intro to sponsor.
“The beautiful game man…… 😍⚽️”
That is Eli Pahl’s caption over a goal compilation set to a sped-up song. Most of the silent breakouts work the same way: challenge Reels, street edits, and one-line skits where the picture carries everything and the caption names the bit.
Eli Pahl 3.7M views · 33.6× their usualThis opening is more common in the breakouts than in the same creators’ usual posts, and these Reels travel without translation. A product has to read in the frame, so a claim that needs a spoken sentence belongs with someone else on this list.
“Let’s teach Neymar the heel rainbow flick.”
Tyrellball says what is about to happen, and then it happens. Six creators had a breakout that opens on a task, from lifting a ball with sticky hands to watching games in secret until someone gets caught.
Tyrellball 3.5M views · 23.2× their usualThese creators open their usual posts this way about as often, so the sentence alone does not explain the reach. What changed is the task: Neymar, not a teammate. If you are paying for a video like this, spend the money on what is being attempted.
JDBFOOTBALL: “IM TOO GOOD AT DEFENDING💪🏻” reached 30M views, 70.9× their usual.
Zeem Ahmad: “3v3 Street Soccer Jakarta Indonesia 🇮🇩” reached 4.1M views, 39.8× their usual.
Didrik Football: “Football ASMR ⚽️” reached 18M views, 27.5× their usual.
This table shows what the soccer accounts on this list do at each size on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X. Use it to judge whether a creator’s numbers are strong for their tier.
| Tier | Followers | Median views | Engagement | Posts a week | Sponsored posts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Micro | 10K to 100K | 205K | 5.1% | 4.8 | 15% |
| Mid | 100K to 500K | 164K | 2.2% | 4.2 | 4% |
| Macro | 500K to 2M | 174K | 3.1% | 1.9 | 9% |
| Mega | Over 2M | 351K | 1.3% | 3 | 7% |
The figures are medians across these 37 accounts, from each account’s recent posts. “Sponsored posts” is the share of posts in the 90 days to Nov 2, 2026, that carry a paid-partnership or paid-promotion label or a stated sponsor, or are part of a brand campaign.
If you sell to people who play or watch soccer, start by deciding which of those two people you want, because very few creators here reach both.
Skills, training, and boot accounts reach people who own cleats and practice. News and fan accounts reach people who watch on Saturday and argue on Sunday. A boot brand and a streaming service should not start from the same shortlist.
Fan voices often speak for one club, and their audience is that club’s supporters, with rivals reading to disagree. That is useful for a local offer and awkward for a league-wide one. Read a week of posts before you assume a creator is neutral.
Videos with a star player get attention, but the player’s or club’s own deals may limit what can appear next to them. Ask whether your product can be shown in that shoot, and who has cleared it. A creator’s solo videos are a simpler place to start.
Many skills and training accounts speak to teenagers trying to make a team. That suits a boot or a ball. It rules out beer and betting, so ask for the audience’s age split before you brief either.
Many brand and club tie-ins here carry a tag and no ad words. Write the disclosure into the brief, for each platform: on YouTube, for example, the paid promotion setting adds a disclosure label to the video.
We identified and ranked these creators by searching hundreds of thousands of top-performing soccer posts across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X with Klint.
We rank by median views across each creator’s recent posts, so one viral post can’t lift an account up the list. Creators from any country qualify if they post in English or with no words, at least half of their posts are about soccer, and the videos or posts are their own; current pros and betting tipsters are left out.
To get this list or a similar one for yourself, describe the creators you’re looking for in the Klint web app, or paste this prompt into any AI agent connected to Klint:
Find the top 37 soccer influencers on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X, ranked by median views across their last 30 posts or their last 90 days, whichever is lower. Give followers, engagement, best post, and sponsors.
Klint is trusted by 1,000+ marketers for AI-native influencer marketing.
As of November 2026 the top five soccer influencers by median views are Céline Dept, Futcrunch, Tom Harris Football, Fabrizio Romano, and ELASTICO KING.
Céline Dept (8.9M views on a typical Reel), Tom Harris Football (3.3M views on a typical Reel), and Jedidiah McCloud (873K views on a typical Reel) lead the Instagram accounts here.
Each creator appears once, wherever a typical post draws the biggest audience: 12 on YouTube, 11 on Instagram, 10 on TikTok, and 4 on X. The creators on X mostly write, so those views are for posts and not videos.
This list ranks creators, and current professional players are left out because their accounts are mainly about their own careers. Former players stay when the feed is their own commentary or creator content, like Peter Crouch and Brittany Wilson Isenhour.
By hand, start with who your own customers already watch: search a platform for a skill or a club, and note who makes the videos and not who reposts them. Klint does that search for you if you describe the creators you want, such as “soccer coaches on Instagram under 100K followers.”
It depends on the format and the access. A solo tutorial or a post on X is a simpler deal than a stunt with a star player, a long matchday film, or a club-backed shoot, and many boot and gear deals include product or a discount code. Ask for a rate for each deliverable, and compare it with median views and not followers.
Yes. Any creator can ask to be taken off Klint’s lists, and the request applies to every page they would otherwise appear on.
