Real Madrid has announced a record-breaking financial performance for the 2025–2026 season, generating €1.221 billion in revenue despite ending the campaign without winning a major trophy. The milestone strengthens the club’s position as the global leader in football finance, with Real Madrid revenue reaching an unprecedented level for any sports organisation. The latest figures underline the club’s strong commercial strategy and continued financial growth on and off the pitch.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the Spanish giants said operating revenue, excluding income from player transfers, rose by 3.1 per cent from the previous financial year.
“Operating revenue, excluding income from player transfers, reached euro 1.221 billion, 3.1 per cent more than in the previous financial year,” the club stated.
“Real Madrid has therefore exceeded the euro 1.2 billion mark for the first time, a figure that no other sports organisation in the world has achieved to date, consolidating the club’s position as the revenue leader in the sports industry.”
The club also reported a profit after tax of €26 million, representing an eight per cent increase compared with the 2024–25 financial year.
A major contributor to the club’s success was the renovated Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, where revenue increased by 11 per cent to €363 million, supported by higher commercial activity and new sponsorship agreements.
Despite the impressive financial results, Real Madrid failed to win a trophy during the season. The club responded by appointing José Mourinho as head coach in June to replace Álvaro Arbeloa and has already strengthened the squad with the signings of Bernardo Silva and Marc Cucurella.
Media reports also suggest that RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande and Manchester City midfielder Rodri remain targets as the club continues to reshape its squad ahead of the new campaign.
Do you think Real Madrid’s financial strength will help them return to winning major trophies next season?
