Abstract: Through literature and mathematical statistics, the paper researches British football clubs’ community public service functions with the results showing that such clubs have been geopolitically and psychologically connected with the communities since their initial establishment, which brings about a win-win result between the two. British football clubs have their own management team of community public services and maintain effective cooperations with government and non-governmental organizations, which leads to an organized mode of community public services. In addition, football leagues at all levels will make unified plans against the current social issues in order for all clubs to undertake diversified activities in the unified framework, enabling football clubs to truly become the center of the British community life.
