If we look at today’s football, the main source of income for any club is from sponsorships and broadcasting rights but Covid-19 has taught us that football is nothing without fans.

Let us take the English Premier League (EPL) for example to damontrate how much revenue clubs typically make.

Commercial Rights

According to The Athletic, the next three season for the Premier League will bring the most revenue in broadcasting rights. The report stated that international rights will hit more than £5B while the UK alone will hit the £5B mark over the next three years.

Commercial rights increased from £88M to £430M. Also, we saw a 16% rise in the total package that was worth £10.5B.

Match Tickets

To depict how much revenue football clubs generate from match tickets, it’not that much when compared to broadcasting rights and sponsorships.

Manchester United home stadium Old Trafford has a sitting capacity of 75,643 – the largest in the EPL. If the clubs charges £20 for each ticket, one match will generate a revenue of £1.5m – provided the tickets are sold out. When this revenue is compared to other means of revenue such as sponsorships and broadcast rights, it hold a very little value.
