Following the latest football finance report released by Deloitte, Arsenal has emerged as the global leader in matchday revenue, even though the club ranks only seventh overall in total income. With a staggering £101 million earned from matchday operations, the Gunners have outpaced European powerhouses like Real Madrid and Barcelona.

While Arsenal secured the seventh spot on Deloitte’s Football Money League with a total revenue of £335 million, the club made headlines for surpassing Chelsea (£323 million) to become the highest-earning football club in London for the first time in six years. The Emirates Stadium, with its 61,000-seat capacity, has played a pivotal role in this achievement, pushing Arsenal’s matchday earnings to the top of the global charts.

Real Madrid followed closely behind with £100 million in matchday income, while Barcelona claimed third with £90.17 million. Manchester United and Chelsea rounded out the top five with £87.96 million and £71.84 million respectively. Other Premier League clubs like Liverpool, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur ranked eighth, ninth, and tenth in total revenue.

Deloitte partner Dan Jones commented that despite Chelsea winning the 2014–15 Premier League title, Arsenal’s commercial performance off the pitch has allowed them to reclaim the title of London’s most profitable club—a position they haven’t held since the 2009–10 season.

One of the key drivers behind Arsenal’s financial boost is their new kit deal with Puma, which significantly increased their commercial revenue. Reports suggest a 34% growth in commercial income for the club. More impressively, Arsenal’s matchday revenue not only topped the global rankings but also exceeded Chelsea’s by a wide margin of £30 million.
