Summary
Championship clubs' pre-tax losses rose 12% to £355m, with only three clubs reporting a pre-tax profit in 2024-25. Deloitte's annual football finance review found Premier League losses rose to £948 million in 2024/25 from £135 million the previous season. (Premier League pic) LONDON: The combined pre-tax losses of Premier League clubs climbed over 600% in the space of one year, according to a new report by leading accountancy firm Deloitte. Discussions over a "new deal" to create a more equitable split of television revenue between the Premier League and the EFL have stalled since 2024, though the Independent Football Regulator may have a role in speeding things along as it has "backstop" powers to impose a settlement if a deal cannot be agreed.
Furthermore, Deloitte found the European football market grew 6% overall to €40.2bn (£34.4bn) in 2024-25 – the first season featuring UEFA's newly expanded men's club competitions. Bridge said: "The expansion of UEFA and FIFA competitions has delivered financial benefits across Europe's 'big five' leagues, but football cannot rely on simply adding more content to deliver sustainable growth. Strong leadership and innovation, underpinned by fit-for-purpose regulation are paramount.".
