Real Madrid claim to have broken the revenue record for any sports team in a single season with earnings of over £1billion in the 2025-26 season.
Los Blancos endured a disappointing campaign on the field as they were eliminated in the Champions League quarter-finals and lost out to Barcelona in LaLiga.
Their financial performance was impressive however, with the club announcing on Tuesday they had earned 1.22bn euros (£1.04bn). They said this level of earning had “not been reached until now by any other sports entity”.

Forbes reported earlier this year that Real’s 2024-25 revenue figure – which equated to £955.8million – was a record for a sports team in a single season or year, surpassing the 1.23bn US dollars (£925.7m) earned by the Dallas Cowboys in 2024.
Real revealed revenue derived from the Bernabeu has more than doubled since the 2018-19 campaign, the season when work began to renovate it.
The club reported a profit after tax of 26.3m euros (£22.5m), eight per cent up on 2024-25.
Los Blancos said 354.8m euros (£303.5m) had been contributed to tax and social security in the 2025-26 financial year.
