Top Facebook Pages by Followers

What stands out

Facebook’s ranking is the most brand-heavy of the major platform charts. Cristiano Ronaldo leads as the only individual ahead of Samsung and Facebook’s own page, but below the top three the list fills with global brands such as Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, Netflix, and YouTube, 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, Criminal Case) 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?

Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has the most-followed Facebook page, ranked ahead of the Samsung brand page and Facebook's own house page. He leads on both Facebook and Instagram, making him one of the few individuals to top a major platform chart over brands and the platform's own account.

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: Samsung, Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Netflix, 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. 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 2025 rather than a live count. For the latest numbers, check each page directly or the source list, which is updated periodically.
