Friday, January 23, 2026 - Liverpool Football Club has surged past Manchester United and Manchester City to become the richest club in England for the first time ever.
In a major financial milestone for English football,
Liverpool rose to the top of the English revenue rankings, having earned £729m
from their Premier League-winning season.
Six Premier League sides made the top 10, with Liverpool the
leader. They are also fifth in the World.
The Reds’ financial performance was boosted by a combination
of factors, including high commercial income, robust matchday earnings, and
their return to the UEFA Champions League. Additional non-matchday events at
Anfield, such as high-profile concerts, also contributed to revenue growth,
demonstrating a diversified business model that goes beyond football alone.
In the 29 years that Deloitte has compiled its
annual Football Money League standings, Man United has been a fixture
among the richest clubs in world football.
But after a torrid period on the pitch under former
manager Ruben Amorim, United this year sit eighth and trail table-toppers
Real Madrid by more than £300m.
Real Madrid stayed top of football’s rich list. The Spanish
giants generated nearly £1.013bn in revenue in the 2024/25 season despite
failing to win a major trophy.
The refurbishment of the club’s Santiago Bernabeu stadium
into a multi-purpose venue continues to pay rich dividends.
