The 30 richest clubs in world football

World football's highest earners have been revealed as the Premier League continues to dominate the game's financial sphere.

The Deloitte Football Money League has released their data on the 30 clubs in world football who boast the highest incomes during the 2023/24 season, with a new record set at the top of the rankings after the figure was finally broken of 1 billion euros.

Here are the 30 richest clubs in world football according to Damage to Deloitte.

Premier League clubs make up the majority of the top ten, but they also feature easily in the top 30. Wolverhampton Wanderers, Fulham, Everton AND Crystal Palace are included from 29th to 26th in that ranking, once again highlighting the financial muscle of even average teams in the English first division.

Brighton & Hove Albion continue to climb the rankings (now 21st) thanks to their impressive business model, which focuses on buying low and selling high. Seagulls participation in 2023/24 Europa League it will have increased the income as well.

Flemish are the only team from outside Europe to appear in the top 30, sneaking into the list with just under €200m (£168.7m) in revenue. The Brazilian giants will be looking forward to this summer FIFA Club World Cup which will only pour more money into the club.

Benfica are the only European team outside the big five leagues to appear and are in 25th place. Their income was enhanced by the Italian power plants ROMA AND Naplesas well as surprisingly profitable Eintracht Frankfurt.

Three other Premier League outfits are present outside the top ten, with Aston Villa AND West Ham United at 18 and 17 respectively. Both earned more than €300m (£253m) in 2023/24 and that figure will only rise for the former moving forward after their appearance in 2024/25 Champions League.

Newcastle United felt the benefits of Europe's premier competition in 2023/24, earning €371.8m (£314m) across the campaign. This is an impressive 29% increase from last season and they will be eager to feel the financial benefits of the Champions League again next season.

French football is not at its healthiest, but the traditional giants Lyon AND Marseille Both are in the top 20. The former have enjoyed a particularly profitable 2023/24 period, with their earnings increasing by 33% from 2022/23.

Surprisingly, no Italian team appears in the top ten, with AC Milan, Inter AND Juventus all sitting under the top table. The Torino giants are one of the few teams that actually lost money last season – €78.2m (£66m) to be exact – and they have dropped to 16th place, with both Milan clubs enjoy a modest 3% increase in income.

12th place Atletico Madrid also enjoyed an increase in income in 2023/24, but their income still pales in comparison League the rivals. The Champions League final run was a cash cow Borussia Dortmundwho earned over half a billion euros in revenue throughout the mandate.

The Premier League's traditional 'big six' all feature in the top ten and biggest spenders Chelsea earned the least. They made €545.5m (£460m) in revenue last season, significantly less than their London rivals Tottenham which earned €615m (£519m).

Liverpool have fallen to eighth place in the ranking, being narrowly surpassed by Arsenal who have made the attractive jump from tenth to seventh. Those roles may change at the end of the current season, but the 35% increase in the Gunners' income will please the club's hierarchy.

Barcelona AND Bayern Munich are closely tied in sixth and fifth, with the former's financial mismanagement seeing them earn €39.8m less than in 2022/23. The Bavarians are always consistent winners and have risen up the table despite their problems on the pitch last season.

Manchester United they may be in crisis on the pitch, but their off-field performance means they've also climbed the list thanks to an increase in revenue of €24.9m. However, they are still facing local rivals Manchester Citywho earned €67.2 million more than the Red Devils last season en route to Premier League title.

Paris Saint-Germain are currently in third place after shedding their superstardom over the last few years, but no one is close to catching Real Madrid. The reigning European champions were boosted by renovations at the Santiago Bernabeu which allowed them to break the €1bn (£886m) revenue barrier for a single season – a new record.
