ESPN FC engagement report
@ESPNFC - 17M followers on X
Measured over 173 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 11K interactions against 17M followers, an engagement rate of 0.065%. Measured over 173 original posts, its engagement rate beats 78% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 410K times each, and 2.75% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.36% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 6.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 173 posts sampled, 91% carry an image or video and 9% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 98K interactions, about 8.7x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
ESPN FC's engagement rate beats 78% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 84% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 20:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Ismael Saibari ran over to Jamal Musiala as soon as he saw Musiala was about to faint. Musiala partially fainted due to the heat and was cleared by Bayern's medical team after. The definition of a true teammate in Saibari ❤️ https://t.co/RE9ywir6Pq

- At 0.065%, ESPN FC sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,521 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
