📺 LaLiga TV revenue: Real Madrid outpaces Barcelona | OneFootball

The distribution of audiovisual rights revenues for LaLiga in the 2024/2025 season has been consolidated under the framework of Royal Decree-Law 5/2015, maintaining a model that seeks to balance sports competitiveness with the commercial value of the clubs. During this period, the league distributed a figure close to 1.5 billion euros among the teams of the First and Second Division. Of this total amount, approximately 90% was allocated to the top tier (LaLiga EA Sports), while the remaining 10% went to the second division, reaffirming the significant economic gap that promotion entails.

The distribution structure in the First Division is divided into three fundamental pillars that determine how much each entity receives. The first of these is the solidarity block of 50%, which is distributed equally among the twenty teams in the category, guaranteeing a financial floor that for the 24/25 season was around 35-37 million euros per club. This mechanism is vital for the survival of newly promoted teams or those with modest budgets, allowing them to compete under minimally equitable conditions in the transfer market.

The second determining factor is sports performance, to which 25% of the total (about 340 million euros) is allocated. This percentage not only rewards the final position of the last season but also takes into account a historical record of the last five seasons with decreasing weightings. In the 2024/2025 season, FC Barcelona, after its success in the championship, led this section receiving approximately 57.8 million euros additional, closely followed by Real Madrid (51 million) and Atlético de Madrid (44 million). This descending scale reaches the bottom team, Real Valladolid, which barely received 0.85 million for this concept.

The remaining 25% corresponds to social impact, a criterion that evaluates each club's ability to generate resources and attract audiences. Here, variables such as ticket revenue, the number of season ticket holders, and, very importantly, the contribution to the value of broadcasts (television audiences) are measured. This section usually favors clubs with a larger social base and media exposure, being the point where Real Madrid and FC Barcelona manage to distance themselves from the rest of the competitors, both surpassing the 160 million euros mark in total television revenues.

These have been the revenues in the Hypermotion League.
