Liverpool post record £703m revenue following Premier League title win
Liverpool have posted a pre-tax profit of £8m and record revenues exceeding £700m following their Premier League title triumph and return to the Champions League.
The Anfield club’s latest accounts reveal a surge in overall revenue by £89m to a total of £703m.
This figure represents the highest revenue generated by any side in the English top flight.
It marks a significant financial turnaround for the Reds, who had reported a pre-tax loss of £57m in the previous financial year.
Broadcast and prize money boost
Media revenue climbed by £60m to £264m, largely driven by the club’s participation in Europe’s elite competition.
The Merseyside club were eliminated in the last 16 by eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain but still banked nearly £84m from the tournament.
Domestic success proved equally lucrative, with the team earning just under £175m for securing their 20th league crown.
This prize money comprised UK and international broadcast payments, reflecting the fact that 30 of their 38 league matches were televised.
Anfield expansion drives growth
Matchday income rose by £14m to £116m despite the team playing two fewer fixtures than in the 2023-24 campaign.
This increase is attributed to the first full season of the completed Anfield Road stand, which allowed crowds to consistently exceed 60,000.
Commercial revenue also saw an uplift of £15m, taking the total for that division to £322m.
Non-football events played a crucial role, with Taylor Swift and Pink performing concerts at the stadium during the accounting period.
Rising administrative costs
While income soared, the champions also faced rising expenditures.
Staff costs jumped by £42m to £428m, a figure that has reportedly doubled in less than a decade.
Administrative costs rose to £657m, while utility bills at the stadium have surged by more than 100% over the last four years.
The financial report also noted the impact of new commercial partnerships, including agreements with Japan Airlines and Husqvarna, alongside a long-term extension with Carlsberg.
