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.
