How We Chose These

We ranked pages purely by follower count, using the totals tracked by Wikipedia's list of the most-followed Facebook pages as of August 2026 and checking them against an October 2026 news round-up and other public trackers. Totals are rounded down to whole millions and given with an "as of" date. Small gaps between sources are normal, because figures move daily. We list only facts about each page owner that are on the public record. Three of the ten are linked to football.
