The richest football clubs in the world generated record revenues of €12.4 billion in the 2024-25 season, underlining a decisive shift away from reliance on domestic broadcast deals and towards commercial growth, stadium monetisation and global brand expansion, according to the latest Deloitte Football Money League.
The 29th edition of the annual report shows revenues among the top 20 clubs rising 11% year on year, with Real Madrid again setting the pace after becoming the first club to surpass €1 billion for a second consecutive season, with €594 million generated from commercial revenue through increased merchandising and sponsorship.
