Real Madrid becomes first football club in the world to exceed €1 billion in revenue in a single season

Real Madrid has become the first football club to achieve more than €1 billion in revenue in a single season, as the Spanish team topped the Deloitte list of the world’s highest-earning clubs once again.

This came in the 2023-24 season, after winning three titles, including the Spanish League and the Champions League, in addition to increasing matchday revenues after the completion of renovation work at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, which ensured Real rose to the top of the list.

Real Madrid topped the Deloitte list of the world’s highest-earning clubs, recording revenues of €1.04 billion ($1.08 billion) last season, supported by its success in doubling matchday revenues to €248 million.

The renovation of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium also contributed to a 19% increase in commercial revenues, reaching 482 million euros, after the team won several major championships, such as the Champions League, the Spanish League, and the Spanish Super Cup.

“Manchester City” came in second place with revenues of 838 million euros, while “Paris Saint-Germain” came in third place with revenues of 806 million euros.

“Manchester United” came in fourth place with revenues of 771 million euros.

According to the “Deloitte” report, the 20 largest clubs in terms of revenues in the 2023/2024 season recorded a record of 11.2 billion euros, an increase of 6% compared to the total revenues of the previous season.
