"Arsenal's memorable win over Barcelona in the Champions League final is only one of the reasons 2025 was a profitable year for the club. The Gunners have invested in understanding their fanbase and were the most well-attended team in the Women's Super League - topping 35,000 on five separate occasions. They have also introduced tiered pricing to encourage repeat attendance - helping them achieve the highest matchday revenue across all 15 clubs."
"Arsenal generated the most revenue of any women's football club in 2025, according to analysis by Deloitte. The 2025 Champions League winners moved from second to first with revenue of 21.5m - an increase of 43% on 2024. Treble winners Chelsea also cashed in on a successful year to be placed just behind Arsenal with revenue of 21.3m, and pushing last year's leaders Barcelona into third."
Deloitte analysis shows Arsenal led women's club revenues in 2025 with 21.5m, a 43% increase on 2024, while Chelsea earned 21.3m after a 90% rise. The top 15 clubs collectively generated a record 132.8m, up 35.5% year-on-year, with eight Women's Super League sides in the top 15. Five teams reported season-on-season attendance drops after 2023-24. Arsenal achieved high matchday revenue by investing in fan insight, drawing over 35,000 on five occasions and introducing tiered pricing. Chelsea's revenue surge was driven by 16m in commercial income. Barcelona completed a domestic treble despite losing the Champions League final.
