Real Madrid Remains World’s Most Valuable Club, Barça Second

Real Madrid repeats as the world’s most valuable football club in the latest Forbes ranking. Barça occupies the second spot in the same list.

Real Madrid has completed two consecutive seasons without winning the domestic league or the Champions League. The absence of trophies did not affect its position at the top of the financial ranking.

The Forbes ranking evaluates thirty clubs worldwide on revenue and market value. Real Madrid sits at the summit of that thirty‑club list.

For the 2024‑25 season, Real Madrid reported revenue of $1.270 billion. The amount translates to €1.089 billion.

The 2024‑25 revenue represents a 12 % increase over the previous record for a football club. The prior record was set in the 2023‑24 season.
