What stands out

Facebook’s ranking is the most brand-heavy of the major platform charts, and it has become more so: Netflix now leads outright, with Cristiano Ronaldo the only individual in the top three, ahead of Samsung and Facebook’s own page. Below the top four the list fills with global brands such as YouTube, Coca-Cola, and McDonald’s, reflecting that Facebook pages were designed for businesses from the start. Two patterns set this chart apart from the others: a cluster of Chinese state-media outlets (CGTN, China Daily, Xinhua, People’s Daily, and Global Times) publishing to overseas audiences, and a run of fictional characters and games (Mr. Bean, Harry Potter, Candy Crush Saga) that rank alongside real people, something you do not see near the top of the Instagram or X lists.

Frequently asked questions

Which Facebook page has the most followers?

Netflix has the most-followed Facebook page, ahead of footballer Cristiano Ronaldo in second and the Samsung brand page in third. Ronaldo still leads on Instagram, but on Facebook he now sits behind a brand — a change from our previous snapshot, when he held the top spot here too, and one that fits Facebook being the most brand-heavy of the major platform charts.

Why do so many brands appear in this ranking?

Facebook's page format was built for businesses, so global brands invested in it early and at scale. That shows in the list: Netflix holds the top spot outright, and Samsung, Coca-Cola, McDonald's, and YouTube all rank highly, giving brands a much larger presence here than on the more celebrity-led Instagram and X charts.

Why are several Chinese state-media outlets on the list?

CGTN, China Daily, Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily, and Global Times all appear in the rankings. These are state-backed outlets that publish for international audiences in English on Facebook, even though the platform is not generally accessible inside mainland China, which concentrates several of them in the upper ranks.

About this ranking

Follower counts are rounded down to the nearest million, matching the convention used by the source. Ranks are reproduced as the source publishes them, which at one pair disagrees with its own figures: it lists Shakira eighth on 126M above FC Barcelona ninth on 128M. We have not re-sorted them. Facebook reports a page’s followers separately from its likes; this chart ranks by followers. Counts shift over time as pages gain and lose audience, so treat the figures as a snapshot from August 2026 rather than a live count. For the latest numbers, check each page directly or the source list, which is updated periodically.

Source & citation

Follower figures are drawn from Wikipedia, "List of most-followed Facebook pages" (as of August 31, 2026), which maintains the canonical public list. If you reference this page, cite it as:
