Manchester City is the second biggest revenue generating club with £707,000 (Euros 838,000) while Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea are all in the top ten. West Ham were 17th with £272,000 in revenue for 2023/24 while Newcastle were 15th, Aston Villa 18th in the figures which are made up fron earnings from matchday revenue, broadcast deals and commercial.
Tim Bridge, lead partner in the Deloitte Sports Business Group, said: “Money League clubs continue to break records with ongoing growth in commercial and matchday revenues. “While on-pitch performance is critical for teams to reach the top echelons of the rankings, high performing clubs are also able to diversify the way they generate revenue through unlocking innovative partnerships and developing the land and stadium space that they own or operate.
“While commercial revenue dominates the income of the top ten Money League clubs, broadcast income remains crucial for teams in the second half of the rankings. “As competitions expand and create more broadcast and matchday opportunities, these can further increase the earning potential for clubs.
