Most profitable sports clubs of 2025 list features three Premier League sides
Three Premier League clubs have made the Forbes most profitable sports teams list of 2025, with the top 20 generating an estimated £3.2bn in profit during the most recent season.
The figures, calculated using Forbes’ estimates of operating income with total value using the enterprise values, suggest an average £159m profit per team, up 12 per cent on the 2024 list.
Manchester United (£152m), Tottenham Hotspur (£133m) and Manchester City (£120m) are the only football teams on the list and represent the only three teams to feature from outside of North America.
Dallas Cowboys, valued at north of $10bn, made an estimated profit of $564, nearly double Los Angeles Rams in second.
This method of calculation does not take into account many Premier League clubs’ accounts from the most recent season as the majority have not yet released the figures.
