Which football clubs generate the most revenue?


Football teams are big businesses and so a lot of them are able to bring in hundreds of millions of pounds worth of revenue. Out of the massive clubs around the world, who generates the most revenue? 

Which football clubs generate the most revenue? Manchester City, Real Madrid and Liverpool are the three football clubs that generate the most revenue in the world, with Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain not far behind. 

Deloitte may not be a company many football fans have heard of before, but they have been able to rank football clubs around the world in terms of the revenue that they made in the most recent year. At the top of that list is Manchester City. 

Which football club generates the most revenue in the world? 

Manchester City are the team that currently produces the most revenue in the world. City are one of the biggest teams in the world and have been one of the most successful teams in the world over the last decade. They have been able to generate revenue in a number of different ways. 

Deloitte reported that Manchester City generated revenue of around £647 million thanks to many different revenue streams. 

City being so successful means a huge amount of their games are shown on TV. This brings the team a huge amount of money as they have games shown on TV in different competitions like the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. They also generate revenue from the Premier League thanks to finishing first in the league last season. 

The Premier League as a whole has been able to recover well from the Covid-19 pandemic and so have been able to add a lot of value despite the negative impacts of the pandemic. City having a large amount of revenue through prize money has allowed them to be the football club that generates the most revenue. 

Which football club generates the second most revenue in the world? 

Real Madrid are currently second in the world for the most revenue generated. This is hardly surprising when you consider how the club are able to generate revenue. One of the main things that has helped them generate so much in the last 12 months is their success on the pitch.

It is estimated by Deloitte that Real Madrid have produced £631.5 million in revenue. This figure could go down in the future if Madrid doesn’t have the same success in Europe or in La Liga, where it doesn’t look like they will win the title. 

Madrid would have earned a lot of money through prize money over the last 12 months. That is thanks to the team winning the Champions League and La Liga. This will have brought them a huge amount of prize money. Being in those positions in different competitions will have also brought the team a lot of TV money. 

Progressing deep into the Champions League means Real Madrid have been able to bring in a lot of TV money. This TV also extends to La Liga where the majority of the team’s games are shown on local and international TV which brings them a lot of money.

What will also help Real Madrid is that they are one of the biggest football brands in the world. Madrid have a huge following with fans all over the world. These fans love to show their support by purchasing merchandise from the team. This brings Real Madrid a huge amount of money which helps them produce so much revenue. 

Which football club generates the third most revenue in the world? 

At the moment, Liverpool are the team that produces the third most revenue out of any football club in the world. It is currently estimated that Liverpool produce £620.8 million of revenue per season which is the most recent figure. 

Liverpool are one of the most successful teams in the Premier League over the last few years. They have a huge fan base who have been able to bring in a huge amount of money for the club. They do this in a number of ways. 

Liverpool are able to bring over 50,000 people to home games and this means they bring in

a huge amount from ticket revenue. These fans also like to buy merchandise from the club which brings the team a huge amount of money. 

Liverpool have also had quite a bit of success which has brought them prize money. Their good performances in Europe and the Premier League will bring the team a lot of prize money which has helped the team bring in so much revenue. 

Their phenomenal success also means that Liverpool have been on TV a lot. This brings them a huge amount of sponsorship deals which also helps the club bring in so much revenue. 

Is Newcastle the richest club in the world? 

At the moment Newcastle are considered the richest football club in the world. This is because they have the richest owners in the world. In 2021 Newcastle were taken over by a very rich consortium. 

This consortium was made up of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, RB Sports Media and PCP Capital Partners. The consortium is made up of some of the richest people in the world. Incredibly, the consortium’s estimated combined net worth is $620 billion, mainly because the Public investment fund is state-owned. 

It means that Newcastle United have a huge amount of money behind them. As they have such rich owners, Newcastle are seen as the richest club in the world. There is no team in the world that has owners as rich as Newcastle and so they are seen as the richest football club in the world. 

There are other football teams who spend more money than Newcastle as the owners have only owned the club for just over a year. There are also teams who make more money than Newcastle in a season. But in terms of their owners, Newcastle are the richest football club in the world.
