Fan protests over rising ticket prices have become commonplace in the Premier League

Overview

  • Premier League clubs generated a record £6.3 billion in 2023-24 revenue, marking a 4 percent increase driven by commercial partnerships and higher matchday receipts.
  • Fan protests over rising ticket costs and the repeated immediate relegation of promoted teams highlight mounting strains on supporter engagement and league parity.
  • The Football Governance Bill will establish an Independent Football Regulator to oversee governance, financial sustainability and competitive balance across England’s top five leagues.
  • Deloitte’s report recommends exploring a direct-to-consumer streaming model in overseas markets as a way to accelerate television revenue growth.
  • England’s Women’s Super League revenue surged 34 percent to £65 million in 2023-24 and is projected to reach £100 million next season, underlining rapid expansion in the women’s game.
