The real deal – the football money league

Real Madrid have broken the billion Euro revenue record to top the latest Deloitte Football Money League.

The top 20 revenue generating clubs in world football made a record €11.2bn in the 2023/24 season, which is a 6% increase in cumulative revenues from the previous season, with Money League clubs reporting record matchday, broadcast and commercial revenues.

The average Money League club generated €560m, comprised of €244m (44%) commercial revenue, €213m (38%) broadcast revenue, and €103m (18%) matchday revenue.

Real Madrid have become the first club to surpass one billion Euros of revenue in a single season, securing its position at the top of the Money League. They are followed by Manchester City (€838m), Paris Saint-Germain (€806m), Manchester United (€771m) and Bayern Munich (€765m).

Juventus saw its biggest drop in the rankings (€356m) from 11th to 16th, the club’s lowest position in Money League history following an absence from European football in 2023/24.

Sporting performance played a crucial role in many teams’ financial impetus, with clubs such as Arsenal (€717m), Borussia Dortmund (€514m), Newcastle (€372m) and Aston Villa (€310m) growing revenues through participation in UEFA competitions and improved domestic performances yielding higher broadcast distributions.
