Football income

The squad-cost ratio depends on football income, so PSRwatch starts from the latest filed accounts for domestic income, removes any European income inside that base year, adds this season's UEFA distributions where the club is in Europe, and adds net profit on player sales as the League's rolling three-year average.

Latest filed revenue

£182m

2024/25

Football income

£330m

£310m low / £350m high

How this is calculated

domestic £209m (matchday £38m + broadcasting £98m + commercial £73m)
+ UEFA distributions £22m + player-sale profit (3-year average) £99m = £330m

The denominator of the squad-cost test: this season's forecast football revenue plus the League's three-year average of net profit on player sales.

Matchday£38m · 11%
Broadcasting£98m · 30%
Commercial£73m · 22%
UEFA distributions£22m · 7%
Player-sale profit (3-year average)£99m · 30%

Broadcasting is 30% of the base, and UEFA distributions add £22m that only counts while the club is in Europe. Player-sale profit contributes £99m as a three-year average, so one big sale lifts income by a third of its profit, not all of it.

This is a forecast, not filed revenue. The latest filed figure is £182m (2024/25); the sensitivity band is £310m to £350m. The matchday / broadcasting / commercial split uses a league-typical mix until the club's own accounts disclose one.

UEFA distributions

£22m

PSRwatch central estimate of this season's UEFA distributions. It adds to football income; the League's 85% / 115% lines stay the same.

Player-sale profit (3-year average)

£99m

This window counts reported sale fees only; £10m of undisclosed-fee estimates are excluded until reported or filed.

Football income

£330m

Latest filed revenue baseline: 2024/25.

Central forecast starts from the committed club forecast and splits domestic football income using a league-typical modelled mix (about 18% matchday / 47% broadcasting in the Premier League) - the club's own filed mix will be used once its accounts disclose one.

Premier League participation is included in the broadcasting and commercial mix.

No European income sat inside the 2024/25 accounts the forecast is grown from.

Europa League participation in 2026/27 adds a separate UEFA income line (PSRwatch central estimate of GBP 22m of distributions) and brings UEFA's separate 70% squad-cost rule into play (the League's own 85% / 115% lines are unchanged).

Net profit on player sales counts as the League's rolling three-year average (one third of each of the last three seasons' profits), not this window's sales in full.

Low/high range is a deterministic +/-6% sensitivity around central football income.

Forecast domestic income already clears the applicable Premier League floors (income >= GBP 175m, broadcasting >= GBP 95m), so no uplift was needed.

Reconciliation status

Audited periods reconcile against the filed accounts: 29 checks reconciled, none unreconciled. Estimates and forecasts are labelled and carry confidence levels - lines marked ◦ are PSRwatch analytical splits, not audited categories.

PSRwatch is independent. Figures are unofficial estimates from public filings, transfer data and PSRwatch modelling. They are not endorsed by the Premier League, EFL, UEFA or any club.
