English Premier League revenue rises to nearly £5 billion

English Premier League clubs can "look optimistically" to the future after new statistics from Deloitte, the world's largest professional services company, revealed that consolidated revenue rose to four billion and 900 million pounds (five billion and 900 million dollars). In the first full season after the Corona pandemic.

The 31st edition of Deloitte’s annual review of football’s financial conditions showed that the numbers rose by 8% in the 2020/2021 season, having fallen from five billion and 200 million pounds to four billion and 500 million pounds in the previous year, after Corona pandemic outbreak.

Premier League revenue is expected to rise to five billion and 500 million pounds in the 2021-2022 season and then to six billion pounds the following year, exceeding pre-pandemic levels.

According to the report issued today, there is a recovery in the football market at the European level, as total revenues increased by 10% to reach 27 billion and 600 million euros (28 billion dollars), despite the almost complete absence of fans from the stands during that period.

The increase in revenue is largely due to the increase in TV revenue and the success of the European Championship (Euro 2020).

Revenues of the five major European leagues, the English Premier League, the German League, the Spanish League, the Italian League and the French League, increased by 3% to reach 15 billion and 600 million euros.

So far, the Premier League, with just £31m in match revenue, is the only one of Europe's top five leagues to have increased clubs' gross operating profit from £49m to £479m.

Excluding the Premier League clubs, the total operating losses for the clubs of the five major European leagues increased from 461 billion euros to 901 billion euros.
