Chelsea confirms a record pre-tax loss, revealing financial challenges amid high player sales and agent fees.
April 1, 2026, 2:35 p.m.
Ben Jacobs: Chelsea confirm the biggest pre-tax loss in Premier League history. The club's £262m deficit for 2024/25 is over £65m more than Manchester City declared (£194.5m) in 2011. This compares to a profit of £128.4m for Chelsea in 2023/24. In summer 2025, Chelsea had the highest player sales in Premier League history and that came with significant agent fees also contributing to costs. Yet the agent fees Chelsea pay as a percentage of any transaction are understood to be at approximately the Premier League average. Chelsea brought in £490.9m in revenue, the second-highest total in their history. This was largely due to a top-four finish, winning the #UECL and their participation and victory at the Club World Cup. Understand revenue for 25/26 is projected to increase to approximately £700m. This would mean a total revenue increase of around 50% since Clearlake-Boehly took charge. Chelsea Women posted an overall loss of £17.1m and generated revenues totalling £21.3m.
