Real Madrid Tops Sportico’s 2026 Soccer Valuations at $7.7 Billion

The rankings spotlight the Premier League’s TV deals as the engine behind soaring club values.

Overview

  • Sportico’s 2026 report ranks Real Madrid No. 1 at $7.7 billion, with Barcelona second at $6.65 billion.
  • Only Real Madrid and Barcelona cleared $1 billion in 2024–25 revenue, a mark reached elsewhere only by the Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Dodgers.
  • Sportico attributes the Premier League’s surge to its TV money, with international rights worth more than the other top four European leagues combined and $2.3 billion a year in domestic deals.
  • The league’s financial pull shows up in the table as six Premier League clubs land in the top 10 and 16 make the top 50.
  • Tottenham sits No. 10 at $3.5 billion despite a relegation fight, which Sportico said could strip hundreds of millions in revenue if the drop occurs.
