Leeds United have featured inside the top 20 of Deloitte’s 2023 Football Money League for the first time since the 2022/03 season. The Whites sit 18th in the list, which is dominated by Premier League clubs, having generated a revenue of £189m last year.
That’s an increase of £20m from the previous year’s total and it’s enough to see them recognised as one of the most successful teams in the world in terms of revenue. Of course, a huge chunk of that money comes from broadcast rights, 61 per cent in fact, but Leeds have also seen a big rise in commercial revenue over the last year.
The Whites brought in £33m through commercial avenues over 2021, but last year’s figures were increased to £51.7m, making up more than a quarter of the club’s overall income. As a result, Leeds rank higher than plenty of other Premier League teams in the Football Money League, with Aston Villa, Everton, Newcastle United, Brighton, Wolves and Southampton amongst those trailing in their wake.
