The Premier League dominates the business

Football’s economic power is no longer in question: the Premier League dominates the global revenue ranking. Out of the 30 richest clubs on the planet, 14 are English and 6 of them sit in the top 10, reflecting the magnitude of the most powerful league in the world. Still, the throne remains in the hands of Real Madrid, who stand above them all.

Chelsea is going through a rebuilding phase under Todd Boehly’s ownership, but their revenue shows they remain a global giant. With over $632 million annually, the Blues continue to attract sponsors thanks to their recent Champions League history.

9. Tottenham – $714M

While their trophy cabinet is not as full as other giants, Tottenham maximizes the potential of their modern stadium and Premier League presence. With $714 million, the Spurs prove that marketing and London’s appeal are powerful assets.

8. Liverpool – $829M

Liverpool under Klopp shines both on and off the pitch. With $829 million, they remain one of the most financially powerful clubs. Recent titles in the Champions League and Premier League boosted their global profile and reinforced their revenue streams.
