Real Madrid became the first soccer team to register 1 billion euros (US$1.04 billion) in revenue in a single season in 2023-2024, with the Spanish side topping the Deloitte Football Money League as the world’s highest revenue-generating club once again.

Real Madrid had overtaken Manchester City to return to the summit after they generated total revenue of 831 million euros in the 2022-2023 season.

Three trophies in the 2023-2024 campaign — including the La Liga and the UEFA Champions League titles — plus increased matchday revenue following the completion of renovation works at the Bernabeu Stadium ensured they stayed top of the list.

Deloitte said Real’s matchday revenue doubled to 248 million euros, while a new sleeve sponsorship and increased merchandise sales produced commercial revenue of 482 million euros — a 19 percent increase.

The report also said that the top 20 revenue-generating clubs in the world combined made a record 11.2 billion euros in the 2023-2024 season thanks to record matchday, broadcast and commercial revenues.

Real’s revenue dwarfed that of even City, who were second with 838 million euros.
