Chelsea Reports Record £262.4M Pre-Tax Loss, Revenue Rises to £490.9M

Chelsea said increased operating costs drove the loss, while revenue rose to £490.9 million and the club remained compliant with Premier League rules.

  • On Wednesday, London-based Chelsea reported record pre-tax losses of £262.4 million for the financial year ending June 30, 2025, marking the highest deficit in Premier League history.
  • Rising operating costs contributed significantly to the downturn, contrasting with the previous year's £128.4 million profit bolstered by the sale of Chelsea Football Club Women Ltd to Blueco Midco.
  • Despite the losses, the club recorded revenue of £490.9 million , the second-highest on record, and maintained Premier League compliance using permitted 'add backs' for infrastructure and youth development.
  • Chelsea avoided a points deduction last month for undisclosed payments from the Roman Abramovich era, instead receiving a £10.75 million fine and a suspended one-year transfer ban from the Premier League.
  • The club forecasts revenue exceeding £700 million for 2025-26, supported by transfer sales sources describe as the highest in Premier League history, positioning Chelsea for financial recovery.
