"Among the three sources of revenue, the Deloitte report assigned commercial revenue as the main source of income (43 percent of the total). However, matchday revenue was the fastest-growing source (16 percent year-over-year, accounting for 19 percent of the total). The remaining 38 percent comes from broadcasting rights revenue, which also grew by 10 percent. The 10 teams involved in the Club World Cup last summer saw their broadcast revenues rise 17 percent."
"Man United were once regarded as the blueprint for commercial success in football and have topped the Money League in 10 of its 29 editions, most recently in 2017. However, United are down in eighth in the 2026 table, in part due to broadcast revenue dropping from €258 million ($301 million) to €206 million ($240 million) because of their absence from the Champions League in 2024-25."
Real Madrid led the Money League with a record €1.2 billion in revenue while the top 20 clubs together reached €12.4 billion, an 11% increase year-over-year. Barcelona rose to second, Bayern Munich third, Paris Saint-Germain fourth and Liverpool became the highest-earning English club in fifth. Two new entrants joined the top 20: Stuttgart (18th) and Benfica (19th). Commercial revenue accounted for 43% of total income, matchday revenue grew fastest at 16% and represented 19% of the total, and broadcasting made up 38% with a 10% increase overall.
