BREAKING: Arsenal Release 2024/25 Financial Results [DETAILS]
Arsenal have published their latest financial accounts for the year ending May 31, 2025. Yet again, the club have published a loss, however it is much smaller than in previous seasons, at just £1.4million.
This is up from the £17.7million loss recorded the year ending May 31, 2024. And considering the loss in the year ending May 31, 2023 was £52.1million, there is a clear positive trajectory in recent seasons.
This aligns well with the club’s continued competitiveness with the continuation of their bid to win the Premier League title and improved finishes in cup competitions and in Europe.
The club have benefited from the increase in broadcast revenue and their continued and better performances in the UEFA Champions League. This has helped to offset some increased costs such as wages which have risen to £346.8million.
Despite the increase, following Manchester City’s published results, it shows the Gunners for the 24/25 financial year worked with a wage bill £61.6million lower than their title rivals.
The sales of Emile Smith Rowe, Eddie Nketiah and Aaron Ramsdale helped contribute among others to a rise in profit on sale of player registrations/loan of players from £52.4million in 2023/24 to £81.7million in 2024/25.
However, with no major sales in double-digit millions in the summer of 2025, this number will be expected to drop considerably in next years accounts.
The club detailed that operating costs rose sharply to £200.8million from £147.9million the year prior, which is said to reflect increased staging costs, specific direct costs of delivering increased revenues, certain residual property matters and inflationary pressures.
This, therefore, in part, provides further context to the club’s decision to increase ticket prices by 3.9% for the 2026/27 season, which cited increased running costs of the club.
Chief Executive Officer Richard Garlick released a statement on the club’s official website: “These financial results show a positive trajectory as we continue to pursue major trophies, following our second successive season back in the men’s UEFA Champions League in 2024/25.
“The investment in our teams, supported by revenue growth, resulted in strong campaigns for both our men’s and women’s teams last season. Our industry continues to face challenges in terms of the level of investment it takes to compete at the highest level in the face of rising costs in a regulated environment. This remains an important consideration as we look ahead.
“As we move into 2026, it’s an incredibly exciting time to be part of Arsenal. We continue to build something special on the back of these improved financial results. Our teams are pushing on to do everything we can to deliver major trophies and I want to thank all our staff for their passion and commitment to achieving our goals.
“The next few months represent a great opportunity for us all and it’s important we continue to build momentum together.”
