Real Madrid’s expected revenue for 2025-26 season is rumored to reach 1.2 billion euros

Real Madrid’s expected cash income for the 2025-26 season will reach 1.248 billion euros, a record high in the history of global sports clubs.

Real Madrid Club’s financial data continues to rise. The world's highest-grossing sports club has budgeted €1.248 billion in cash receipts for the 2025-26 season, a record high for a global sports entity. This figure will easily exceed the 1.185 billion euros actually booked in the previous fiscal year (2023-24 season), which finally achieved a net profit of 24 million euros; and the previous season (2022-23 season), the club's total revenue was 1.073 billion euros.

The revenue growth is mainly due to the diversified operations of the Bernabeu Stadium, and has not yet been included in the revenue from possible future concerts (relevant matters are currently being resolved). Today's Bernabeu is not only a temple of football, but also a comprehensive entertainment landmark: Sky Bar, Bernabeu Market, the upcoming NFL American football game on November 16, a Christmas theme park...especially the "Santiago Bernabeu Stadium Tour" project, which generated 52.6 million euros in ticket revenue last season, becoming the highest record among all venues in Madrid. In comparison, the total revenue of the Prado Museum, Spain's national art palace, in 2023 (the latest public data) is only 27 million euros, less than half of the revenue from visits to the Bernabeu.

In addition, in terms of revenue from competitive events, this season will also include part of the revenue from the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup - Real Madrid only ended this event in mid-July. In the just-concluded 2024-25 season, although the team lost to Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals and failed to replicate the glory of winning the Champions League trophy the previous year, resulting in a reduction in tournament prize money, it still brought an extra income after reaching the final of the Copa del Rey. It is worth mentioning that the Champions League additional knockout round with Manchester City also made up for the economic losses caused by the early exit to a certain extent.
