Which NVL Club Has the Most Followers on Social Media in 2021?

It’s that time of year again to see which NVL Club has the best social media game (see May 2020, May 2019, May 2018 and May 2017).  Things to note:

• Count includes the three main social media platforms of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram

• Count includes Facebook groups as well as pages since they still have updates on the club

• Count excludes general accounts, e.g. Team Sunderland’s Sports Union Twitter page, since they rarely include information on the specific NVL team

Below is the full chart (click to enlarge), followed by the full table of followers.
