Real Madrid announces record income for 2025-2026 season

Real Madrid has announced record operating income of 1.221 billion euros (approximately $1.288 billion) for the 2025-2026 season, marking a 3.1% increase from the prior fiscal year. This financial milestone was primarily fueled by the club's revamped stadium and robust sponsorship deals.

The club's profit for the season reached 26.3 million euros (around $29 million), an 8% rise compared to the 2024/2025 season. Real Madrid also reported an earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of 287 million euros ($326 million). As of June 30, 2026, the club's net worth stood at 624.4 million euros ($709 million).

Revenue from stadium operations saw an 11% increase, contributing 363 million euros ($413 million) to the total income. Marketing revenues also grew by 6%, reaching 539 million euros ($613 million). The club attributed this growth in marketing to the renewal of key sponsorship contracts and the acquisition of new partners.

Despite the strong financial performance, Real Madrid continued to invest heavily in its squad. The club spent 161 million euros ($183 million) on player transfers during the past season and is actively seeking further reinforcements. Recent reports suggest potential signings include World Cup-winning full-back Marc Cucurella, Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva, and defenders Denzel Dumfries and Ibrahima Konaté, with speculation also linking them to Leipzig winger Yan Diomandé and midfielder Rodrigo Hernández 'Rodri'. The ongoing stadium renovation has seen a cumulative investment of 1.407 billion euros ($1.6 billion).
