Liverpool Football Club has overtaken Manchester United and Manchester City to become the richest club in England, marking a historic milestone for the Premier League.
The Reds topped the English revenue rankings after earning £729 million during their Premier League-winning season, placing them fifth in the world in Deloitte’s annual Football Money League standings.
Six Premier League clubs made the top 10 globally, but Liverpool led the pack thanks to a combination of factors. Strong commercial income, robust matchday revenue, and a return to the UEFA Champions League all contributed to the club’s financial success. Additionally, non-football events at Anfield, such as high-profile concerts, boosted revenue and highlighted the club’s diversified business model beyond just football.
For nearly three decades, Manchester United has been a fixture among the world’s richest clubs. However, following a challenging period under former manager Ruben Amorim, United now sits eighth, trailing table-toppers Real Madrid by more than £300 million.
Real Madrid remains the wealthiest club in world football, generating nearly £1.013 billion in revenue during the 2024/25 season—even without winning a major trophy. The ongoing refurbishment of Santiago Bernabeu Stadium into a multi-purpose venue continues to pay off, further solidifying the Spanish giants’ financial dominance.
Liverpool’s rise to the top of England’s financial ladder underscores how strategic commercial planning, sporting success, and diversified revenue streams can transform a club’s fortunes both on and off the pitch.
