Overview

  • LaLiga set a Primera División ceiling of €2,704.6 million for 2025–26, with Real Madrid at €761.226 million, Barcelona at €351.27 million and Atlético at €326.98 million.
  • Barcelona’s cap fell by about €112 million from the last update, narrowing the gap to Atlético in the league’s spending hierarchy.
  • Valencia’s limit rose to €91.24 million after LaLiga accepted projected commercial income backed by a personal guarantee from owner Peter Lim of roughly €30–35 million, according to Javier Gómez.
  • Celta’s cap increased to €91.12 million after factoring expected Europa League revenue, placing the club ninth in the top-flight ranking.
  • In Segunda, Leganés leads with €14.77 million and Córdoba stands at €10.09 million, as LaLiga says club submissions will be audited with possible adjustments or sanctions if claims do not verify.
