LALIGA reaches a new historical maximum in revenues and exceeds 17 million spectators

LALIGA has presented the Economic-Financial Report of Spanish Professional Football corresponding to the 2024/2025 season, which reflects a new cycle of sustained growth, marked by historical highs in revenues, stadium attendance and investment, as well as by the consolidation of a financial solvency model that is a benchmark at an international level.

Total normalized revenues stood at €5,464M, representing an increase of +8.1% compared to the previous season. The competition thus reaches a new record of total normalized revenues, mainly driven by the strength of the commercial business and the full recovery of activity in most stadiums.

In this context, commercial revenues exceed €1,000M for the third consecutive year, reaching historical figures and having surpassed €1,500M this season, thanks to international expansion and new monetization strategies, with positive growth prospects for the 2025/2026 season driven by the maturity of this commercial expansion and the upward trend in stadium attendance.

One of the main milestones of the season has been the record stadium attendance, exceeding 17 million spectators for the first time. This growth occurs in parallel with an improvement in occupancy rates, with 84.5% in LALIGA EA SPORTS and 68.5% in LALIGA HYPERMOTION.

Investment remains one of the strategic pillars of growth. LALIGA clubs are in a historical moment of investment intensity, especially in infrastructure and stadium modernization, increasing by 12% compared to the previous season. This effort will strengthen the capacity to generate revenues in the medium and long term.

In terms of operational efficiency, clubs continue to move towards a sustainable model, with squad costs controlled and aligned with UEFA standards, standing below 70%. Likewise, the Economic Control system continues to consolidate itself as a key competitive advantage, guaranteeing stability, legal certainty and growth.

From a financial perspective, LALIGA maintains a solid position of solvency and capitalization, with high net equity and an increasingly diversified and efficient financing structure. The development of long-term financing projects linked to infrastructure strengthens the sustainability of the model.

In addition, the sporting model continues to differentiate itself through its commitment to talent, with the highest market value of academy players among the five major European leagues and the highest percentage of participation of academy players among those leagues, reflecting a strategy focused on the training and retention of players.

Looking ahead to the 2025/2026 season, forecasts point to further revenue growth and improvement in operating margins, with the objective of achieving economic break-even within the framework of Economic Control.

With these results, LALIGA reaffirms its position as one of the most solid and dynamic competitions in world football, combining economic growth, financial sustainability and innovation in its management model, in line with the trend already consolidated in previous seasons.
