The furthest away trip in the league this season occurred in the game between Yunnan Yukun and Changchun Yatai. The straight-line distance between Kunming and Changchun is 2927 kilometers.

9. Chilean First Division (3727 kilometers)

Chile is located on the west coast of South America. The country is long and narrow, stretching thousands of kilometers from south to north. Therefore, its domestic league teams will naturally make several long-distance trips - the farthest of which is the game between Ouachibato and Iquique. The two teams' home stadiums are 3727 kilometers apart.

8. Indian Premier League (4155 kilometers)

India is one of the largest countries in the world. Since some of the more remote clubs will relocate their home stadiums to more centralized areas during the league, the total itinerary of away games in the Indian League has been shortened.

However, the game between Northeastern United and Bangalore is a quite arduous journey for any fans who plan to go to the away game. The straight-line distance between the two teams' home stadiums reaches 4155 kilometers.

7. Kazakhstan Super League (4194 kilometers)

The Kazakhstan Super League may not be one of the most famous leagues in world football, but because the country is one of the 10 largest countries in the world, the home stadiums of the Kazakhstan Super League Semey Yerimai and Atyrau teams are 4194 kilometers apart.

6. West Second Division (4422 kilometers)

This season, Spain will have the longest league away trip in history. The distance between the home games of the Spanish Second Division Las Palmas and Andorra will break the Spanish record.

Las Palmas Football Club is located on Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, about 161 kilometers away from the coast of North Africa. Andorra Football Club is located in the Principality of Andorra, a small country located in the Pyrenees Mountains at the junction of Spain and France.

This means that if fans of the two teams want to travel to away games, they must travel 4,422 kilometers, and the means of transportation may not only be planes, but also ferries and even cable cars.

5. Russian Premier League (4683 km)

Most Russian Premier League clubs are located in the west of this vast country. Therefore, for fans, the longest trip in general is from the home stadium of Zenit St. Petersburg to the home stadium of Makhachkala (4458 kilometers).

However, as the Kaliningrad Baltic team was promoted to the Russian Super League in the 2025-26 season, this distance has been lengthened. Kaliningrad Baltic Football Club is located in Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia, an enclave between Poland and Lithuania. Therefore, their journey to the home stadium of Makhachkala is 4683 kilometers long.

It is worth mentioning that Vladivostok Sun Energy Club, which competed in the Russian Super League from 2006 to 2008. The club's home stadium is located in Vladivostok in Russia's Far East, close to the Sea of ​​Japan's borders with China and North Korea. Vladivostok is located approximately 6,413 kilometers east of Moscow, which meant that all other Russian Premier League clubs at the time had to travel long distances to the Pacific coast.

The longest match in Russian professional football is the 2023 Russian League between Kaliningrad Baltic and SKA-Khabarovsk.

Khabarovsk is also located in the Far East (about 805 kilometers north of Vladivostok), so the game between them and the Kaliningrad Baltic Team requires a journey of 7020 kilometers.

4. Brazilian League (6421 kilometers)

In the Brazilian Second Division, the game between Amazonas (home game is located in the Amazon rainforest city of Manaus) and Crisciuma needs to travel 6132 kilometers. In the Brazilian League, the distance between Fortaleza, located on the northern coast of Brazil, and Internazionale, located in Rio Grande do Sul in the south, is even further. Fans need to travel 6,421 kilometers to cheer for the team away from home.

3. Major League Soccer (8954 kilometers)

Although the Major League Soccer League is divided into the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference, teams from different leagues will still play against each other in the regular season, so there will be some ultra-long-distance away trips.

For example, fans of the New England Revolution have to travel long distances from the Northeast to California to watch their team play games against Los Angeles (8,330 kilometers), Los Angeles Galaxy (8,346 kilometers), and San Jose Earthquakes (8,616 kilometers).

However, the longest away journey is undoubtedly the game between the Vancouver Whitecaps and Inter Miami. The home games between the two sides are 8,954 kilometers apart, and they even have to cross national borders on the way. It is worth noting that Inter Miami will move to a new home at Liberty Park in Miami next season. The new home is located 45 kilometers south of their current home, Chase Stadium. This means that the clash between the two teams in 2026 will set a new MLS record for the farthest away away game.

2. Canadian Premier League (8970 km)

Canada is the second largest country in the world, so away journeys in the country's top soccer league are epic. The game between the Pacific on the west coast and the Halifax Wanderers on the east coast reaches 8970 kilometers, spanning the entire southern border of Canada and possibly requiring a ferry or two across the Salish Sea.

1. Australian Super League (10567 kilometers)

In common football terminology, "derby" battles usually occur between teams that are close to each other, but the Australian Super League between Perth Glory and Wellington Phoenix broke this "convention".

Perth is located on the west coast of the Australian continent, and Wellington is located on the North Island of New Zealand. The straight-line distance between the home stadiums of the two teams reaches 10,567 kilometers, spanning land and ocean.

Therefore, this game is the longest professional league in the history of football. No wonder people call it the "distance derby".

0. French Cup (34,284 kilometers)

Although the French Cup is not a league, it is definitely worth mentioning, because in addition to the local French teams, there are also teams from 13 French overseas territories, so there will be some unimaginable long-distance away trips.

In fact, the longest away trip in history occurred in the first round of the 2014 French Cup, against Trelissac and Noumea Magenta. Trelissac is located in a small village in the Dordogne region of mainland France. It was a French fourth-tier league team at the time. Their opponent, Noumea Magenta, is located on the island of New Caledonia in the southwest Pacific, about 1,207 kilometers away from the east coast of Australia.

Therefore, the Trelisac team had to fly 34,284 kilometers before arriving at the away game. Their journey took a total of nearly 60 hours, and they needed to stop in Japan along the way. The result of the game was that they lost 0:3.
