Arsenal Top Deloitte’s 2026 Women’s Money League as Revenues Surge

The list excludes US clubs, limiting global comparability.

Overview

  • Arsenal led the 2024–25 rankings with €25.6m after a 43% year‑on‑year rise powered by five Emirates crowds above 35,000 and a record €7m in matchday income.
  • Chelsea placed second on €25.4m and posted the highest commercial revenue at €19.1m, underscoring the club’s sponsorship strength.
  • Barcelona fell to third with €22m, as English teams continued to dominate the table with eight Women’s Super League sides in the top 15.
  • Aggregate revenue for the top 15 reached about €158m, up 35% year on year, with the top three generating roughly 46% of the total, highlighting a widening gap.
  • Deloitte’s methodology omits leagues without public accounts, and industry estimates suggest NWSL clubs such as Kansas City Current and Angel City FC may out‑earn Europe’s leaders.
