According to the Deloitte Football Money League, Real Madrid has broken financial records and is now the first football team to generate more than €1 billion ($1.04 billion) in income annually. According to the data, which covers the 2023–24 season, the Spanish and european champions took first place in the standings with an incredible €1,045,000,000.
 
€248 million from matchday revenue, €316 million from broadcasting, and €482 million from commercial activities make up Madrid's record-breaking revenue.


The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium's renovation was crucial since it doubled matchday income from the previous season, making it the biggest of all teams. With matchday profits of €170 million, paris Saint-Germain sits in second place.
 
Next in line are Manchester United (€771 million), paris Saint-Germain (€806 million), Bayern Munich (€765 million), and Manchester City (€838 million). The top 10 is dominated by the Premier League, which includes Barcelona of La Liga and teams like Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, and Chelsea. The top 20 teams together brought in €11.2 billion, which was 6% more than they did in 2022–2023.
 

Real Madrid's prowess on the field is reflected in their financial domination. They won the La Liga championship, finishing 10 points ahead of Barcelona, and the Champions League in the 2023–24 season after defeating Borussia Dortmund in the Wembley final.
 
Real Madrid and second-place Manchester City have a record-breaking €208 million cash gap. With a 19% increase, Madrid's commercial revenue is still the highest of all the teams under study.
 
Madrid's strategic expansion and the impact of their refurbished stadium are highlighted in Deloitte's study, which further strengthens their position as the financial powerhouse of international football.
