PSG Reports Record €837 Million Revenue Following Champions League Victory
PARIS – Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) announced Tuesday a club-record revenue of €837 million ($976 million) for the recently completed season, fueled by its first-ever Champions League title and sustained domestic success. The financial results underscore PSG’s position as a global soccer powerhouse, though limitations with stadium capacity and television revenue continue to present challenges to further growth.
The revenue figure, encompassing the men’s and women’s soccer teams, as well as handball and judo operations, represents an increase from the €806 million generated in the 2023-24 season, which ranked third highest in European soccer. This financial boost arrives after PSG’s dominant 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League final - a landmark achievement for the club’s Qatari investors,QSI,who acquired PSG in June 2011. The club’s revenue breakdown includes €175 million from matchday income and €367 million from commercial partnerships, bolstered by the addition of six new sponsors.
Forbes valued PSG at $4.6 billion in May, positioning it as the seventh most valuable soccer team globally, trailing Real Madrid ($6.75 billion), Manchester United ($6.6 billion), and Barcelona ($5.65 billion). Despite the impressive financial performance, PSG faces obstacles to maximizing its revenue potential. Low television revenue within France’s Ligue 1 and the limited 48,000-seat capacity of the Parc des Princes stadium are identified as key constraints.
The club has expressed a desire to purchase and expand the Parc des Princes, currently owned by Paris City Hall. However, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo has publicly stated her opposition to a sale, offering instead to discuss expansion options. “Our door is always open to expanding the Parc des princes, which is owned by the City of Paris,” Hidalgo told Le Parisien in June.”Not to sell, but to expand.”
As a result, PSG is also evaluating plans for a new stadium with a minimum capacity of 60,000 in either Passy or Massy, on the outskirts of Paris. A final decision regarding the stadium’s future is anticipated in autumn of next year.
