Real Madrid Eye Record-Breaking Revenue for 2025–26 Season

Real Madrid is reportedly aiming to achieve an unprecedented €1.3 billion ($1.5 billion) in revenue during the 2025–26 season. This ambitious target follows their strong financial performance in the previous campaign, where they generated nearly €1.2 billion ($1.4 billion) even before participating in the FIFA Club World Cup.

At the Club World Cup, Real Madrid reached the semifinals but suffered a 4–0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. Despite the elimination, the club earned €74 million ($86.5 million) in prize money from the tournament. This additional income elevated their total revenue close to €1.3 billion ($1.5 billion), solidifying their position as the world's most profitable soccer team.

The club had already made financial history a year earlier by becoming the first to exceed €1 billion ($1.2 billion) in revenue, driven by commercial partnerships and their 2023–24 Champions League victory. According to Forbes, Real Madrid is valued at $6.75 billion, narrowly ahead of Manchester United's $6.6 billion valuation.

Bolstered by this substantial income, Real Madrid invested significantly in summer signings, acquiring Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dean Huijsen, and Franco Mastantuono, with Álvaro Carreras reportedly joining soon. The club anticipates further revenue growth if they maintain competitive dominance in Spanish and European competitions next season.
