Real Madrid continues to raise the bar, both on and off the pitch. The club is set to hit a record-breaking €1.3 billion in projected revenue for the 2025-26 season, underscoring the strength and sustainability of its long-term project. Even UEFA has publicly praised Real Madrid’s financial strategy, holding it up as a model of what modern football management should look like.

This financial leap builds on a historic milestone: Real Madrid became the first sports club ever to surpass €1 billion in annual revenue, a feat achieved in the 2023-24 season when the club posted €1.045 billion, up from €832 million the year before. Manchester City and PSG followed in the rankings, with revenues of €837 million and €805 million, respectively.

In the recently concluded season, the club budgeted for €1.127 billion, and it is now expected to finish the year with nearly €1.2 billion in income, an impressive figure, especially considering the team was eliminated in the Champions League quarter-finals, which reduced potential prize and ticketing revenue from the semis and final.

Still, the financial shortfall was largely offset by €74 million earned from the Club World Cup, where Madrid reached the semi-finals.

Now, looking ahead to 2025-26, the club is preparing for an unprecedented budget close to €1.3 billion, a record-breaking figure that reaffirms Real Madrid's leadership not only in sport but also in global business and brand management.
