Barcelona have announced that their revenue surpassed the €1 billion mark for the first time in club history, setting a record during the 2025–26 financial year.
The club revealed the result following a board of directors meeting to review annual accounts, which showed a positive operating result for the third consecutive season, further confirming the recovery of its financial standing.
Stadium revenues served as the primary driver behind this surge, despite matches being split between the Estadi Johan Cruyff, the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, and Spotify Camp Nou with a limited capacity capped at 42,000 spectators.
The milestone is particularly significant given that the season’s budget was formulated on the assumption of a full-scale return to Camp Nou with a capacity exceeding 60,000 fans from the start. Nevertheless, Barcelona came exceptionally close to their target revenue, signaling massive financial upside once the stadium operates at maximum capacity.
Sustained growth in sponsorship agreements also contributed to the record-breaking figure, alongside peak retail sales through Barcelona Licensing and Merchandising (BLM), the club subsidiary managing official stores and merchandise.
According to Deloitte rankings, Barcelona generated approximately €975 million in the previous season—a 27% increase—making them the second highest-earning football club globally behind Real Madrid, before now joining their rivals in the billion-euro revenue club.
However, higher revenues do not translate directly into equivalent net profits due to ongoing expenses related to the Espai Barça project and financing for the new Camp Nou. Detailed financial accounts will be presented to the General Assembly on September 19 for official approval and a full financial disclosure.
