The Premier League has announced that the £30 price cap on away tickets has been extended for a further two seasons.
Clubs voted unanimously to keep the cap until the end of the 2027-28 season at a Premier League shareholders' meeting.
The decision means it will have been in place for 12 consecutive seasons, having first been introduced in 2016.
"Away fans help create the incredible atmosphere Premier League matches are renowned for," a Premier League statement read.
"Since the cap's implementation in 2016, it has contributed to attendance at away games increasing from 82% to 91%.
"The Premier League and clubs also acknowledge the additional costs associated with travelling to follow their teams around the country."
The Football Supporters' Association (FSA) welcomed the decision with chair Tom Greatrex saying: "The extension of the away cap is great news for travelling top-flight fans - the cap was an FSA idea which wouldn't have happened without our members' campaign work.
"Credit to the Premier League and clubs for listening to supporters on the importance of away supporters and keeping the cap in place for the previous 12 seasons. Long may it continue.
"We all know how much away fans add to the atmosphere in our stadiums and anything which helps them is welcome. Over the past 12 years this has saved supporters millions of pounds in total.
"We'd also encourage owners to listen to the voices of supporters' groups at their clubs who are telling them that home ticket prices are often unaffordable and are pricing out loyal fans."
In November, more than 100 fan groups came together to urge Premier League clubs to freeze home ticket prices for the 2026-27 and 2027-28 seasons.
A letter published on the FSA website, external read: "Rising prices are making it harder for regular fans, especially younger generations and working-class communities, to attend matches."
However, so far seven clubs - Arsenal, Brighton & Hove Albion, Burnley, Leeds United, Manchester United, Newcastle United and Sunderland - have announced that home ticket prices will increase next season.
