Barcelona tops €1bn in record revenue, but still posts losses | OneFootball

Barcelona continues to move forward in its economic recovery process. The Blaugrana club presented the results for the 2025/26 season to its Assembly and confirmed record revenue of 1.06 billion euros, a figure that represents an increase of 66 million compared with the previous financial year.

With these numbers, Barça is closing in on the economic level reached by Real Madrid and would become, according to the Deloitte Football Money League benchmark, the second European club to surpass the 1 billion euro revenue mark.

However, the economic growth has still not translated into fully positive figures: Barcelona ended the season with net losses of 18 million euros.

Barcelona reaches a historic figure

The 2025/26 financial year accounts reflect the growth in revenue of the Blaugrana side.

The club went from recording approximately 994 million euros in the previous financial year to 1.06 billion during the latest season, setting a new revenue record in its history.

Barcelona believes these figures reflect the progress made in recent years to restore its economic stability, combining revenue growth with the pursuit of financial sustainability and the maintenance of sporting competitiveness.

Real Madrid and Barcelona, above 1 billion

Barça’s growth also brings it closer to its main rival in Spanish football.

Real Madrid was the first European club to surpass 1 billion euros in annual revenue, when it reached 1.04 billion during the 2023/24 season, according to Deloitte data.

The White club’s revenue later rose to 1.16 billion euros in 2024/25, placing it once again in first position in the Football Money League.

Now, Barcelona joins the group of institutions that have reached that level of revenue, showing the economic weight still carried by the two giants of Spanish football.

Barça still ended in the red

Despite the record revenue, the Blaugrana accounts still show a negative balance.

Barcelona posted net losses of 18 million euros during the 2025/26 season, so revenue growth has still not made it possible to achieve a positive result.

The board, however, expects that situation to change during the next financial year.

Barcelona projects revenue of 1.19 billion

The approved budget for the 2026/27 season includes further growth.

The club expects to reach 1.19 billion euros in revenue, which would mean an increase of 135 million compared with the previous financial year and would once again set a record for the institution.

In addition, Barcelona expects to close the season with a positive result, although a very small one: a net profit of approximately 1 million euros.

If these projections are met, the club would go from the 18 million in losses recorded in 2025/26 to a small profit in 2026/27.

The economic recovery continues

Barcelona is seeking to consolidate a recovery that will allow it to progressively reduce its financial problems without stopping competing at the highest sporting level.

The jump to 1.06 billion euros in revenue represents an important step forward for the institution, although the losses from the last financial year show that the restructuring process is still not finished.

The next goal has already been set: to reach 1.19 billion euros in revenue and close the season with positive numbers.
