Premier League Clubs Revenue: Eleven of the top 20 clubs were from the Premier League, the highest proportion ever, with Wolverhampton Wanderers entering for the first time in 17th position.
“The impact of COVID-19 is stark with the lack of fans in stadia unsurprisingly causing the lowest matchday revenue in the 25 years of the publication,” the report said.”Broadcast revenue is at a record high as a result of deferrals in distributions related to the delayed 2019/20 season.”
The report said Money League clubs missed out on more than two billion euros of revenue from the middle of the 2019/20 season to the end of the 2020/21 season, taking revenue back to the levels of nearly five years ago.
”Looking ahead to the 2023 Money League covering the 2021/22 season, we expect revenue of Money League clubs to reach record levels, as they bounce back from the effects of the pandemic and push towards collective revenues of 10 billion euros,” it added.
Premier League broadcast rights values were meanwhile set to pull further away from the other ‘big five’ European leagues from 2022-23.
For the first time ever all of the Money League clubs also have a women’s team.
