The Premier League away day miles map stretches the full length of England, from the north-east coast down to the south coast, and across the country covers roughly 46,335 miles of away travel between the twenty clubs this season. The single longest away day in the Premier League is the trek from Bournemouth to Newcastle United โ€” about 293 miles as the crow flies, and comfortably the longest distance between two Premier League teams on the calendar. At the other extreme, the shortest hop is Chelsea to Fulham, a neighbourly 1 miles.

Geography does the heavy lifting here. Newcastle United shoulder the league's toughest schedule at 3,435 miles, a direct consequence of sitting away from the cluster of clubs in the Midlands and the south. The north-east pairing of Newcastle United and Sunderland share the warmth of the Tyneโ€“Wear derby โ€” one of the shortest trips either side will make โ€” but every other journey is a long road south, with the runs to the south coast at Bournemouth and Brighton & Hove Albion the most punishing of the lot.

London is where the miles melt away. Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Crystal Palace, Fulham and Brentford all enjoy a clutch of derbies barely a few miles apart, which is why Coventry City sit bottom of the travel table on just 1,811 miles. The Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton and the Manchester derby between Manchester City and Manchester United deliver the same short-trip dividend in the north-west.

The outliers tell the most interesting stories. Ipswich Town sit in an East Anglian corner with no near neighbours, while Hull City and Leeds United anchor a Yorkshire bloc that keeps each other's trips short but faces long hauls to the coast.
