Premier League Money !

The annual Deloitte Football Money League report was published yesterday. Total revenue for the top 20 highest revenue generating soccer clubs in 2021/22 stood at €9.2bn, +13% y/y and only marginally below pre-pandemic levels. Manchester City retained its position at the top of the Money League and for the second time the club generated the highest revenue in world football. As a reminder City only broke into the top five in 2015/16. Unlike the legacy top English teams – Liverpool and Manchester United, who’s matchday income contributes 16% and 18% of total revenue, City’s revenue is largely commercial in nature representing 91% of total revenue. Interestingly, Premier League teams dominated the top of the charts with 11 of 20 top clubs coming from England. The cumulative revenue base of these clubs was €4.9bn, +19% y/y.
