94% of English clubs faced net losses
The Independent Football Regulatory Body (IFR) report highlighted the concerning financial situation of English clubs, revealing that 94% of teams in the five major leagues recorded pre-tax losses in the 2025/2026 season. The average losses for Premier League clubs more than doubled from £20 million in 2021/2022 to £44 million in 2025/2026. Clubs are heavily reliant on external financing, needing £0.33 in external funding for every £1 of revenue in the Premier League, with 76 clubs lacking contingency plans should funding dry up. The clubs face significant risks if funding stops or owners are unable to support them, as debts soared past £4.1 billion in the 2024/2025 season and are expected to reach £5.1 billion by 2026/2027. Additionally, transfer debts reached £4.8 billion in 2025/2026, putting further strain on the financial sustainability of clubs and underscoring the urgent need for more flexible financial strategies to ensure their future viability.
