European Football Revenue Breaks €40 Billion but Growth Is Slowing, Says Deloitte
Deloitte said rising losses and a packed calendar could limit future gains as European clubs generated €40.2 billion and the Premier League led revenues.
- Deloitte reported on Wednesday that European football revenue surpassed €40 billion for the first time in the 2024-25 season, though growth is showing signs of stalling across the continent.
- Expansion of UEFA and FIFA competitions delivered financial benefits across Europe's 'Big Five' leagues, which generated €21.6 billion in revenue. Yet Deloitte Sports Business Group analysts cautioned that simply adding more content may not deliver sustainable growth.
- The Premier League remained Europe's highest-earning division with €6.8 billion in revenue, an 8% rise. Elsewhere, the Bundesliga surpassed €4 billion for the first time, while LaLiga posted €4.1 billion, with Real Madrid and Barcelona accounting for 52% of aggregate revenue.
- Financial results proved mixed as pre-tax losses ballooned to €948 million due to heavy transfer spending. Aggregate income fell 2% to €942 million, with only three clubs managing to turn a profit during the season.
- Deloitte Sports Business Group lead partner Tim Bridge warned that an "increasingly saturated market" could weaken the on-pitch spectacle. In contrast, the Women's Super League posted 39% revenue growth to €90 million, marking the second consecutive season where all clubs exceeded €1 million.
