In a significant milestone for the club, FC Barcelona has officially reported that its revenue for the 2025/26 season has exceeded €1 billion. This achievement marks the first time in the club's illustrious history that it has reached such a financial benchmark in annual revenue.
The announcement was made as part of the club's communication regarding the upcoming General Assembly, which is scheduled for September 19, 2026. During this assembly, the club will detail its accomplishments throughout the season, including the record revenue figure.
In a statement, the Board of Directors of FC Barcelona confirmed the meeting, stating, "The Board of Directors of FC Barcelona, at its ordinary meeting held on September 3, 2026, approved the convocation of the Ordinary General Assembly of Members for Saturday, September 19 (9:30 a.m. for the first call, 10:00 a.m. for the second call), in accordance with Article 27 of the Statutes." This gathering will serve as a platform to present the club’s financial results, which have shown positive ordinary results for three consecutive seasons, achieving financial equilibrium despite operational challenges.
Barcelona's record revenue is attributed largely to the team's return to the Spotify Camp Nou, which took place last November after a two-year absence. Although the stadium has not operated at full capacity, the return has significantly boosted revenue, particularly from stadium operations. The club noted that despite playing some matches at alternate venues, such as the Estadi Johan Cruyff and the Estadi Olímpic, the financial outcomes have been remarkably positive.
"This figure is primarily due to improved revenue from stadium operations, despite having played some matches during the first half of the year at both the Estadi Johan Cruyff and the Estadi Olímpic, and some matches at the Spotify Camp Nou with a capacity of 42,000 spectators," the club stated. This underscores the potential revenue growth once the stadium is fully operational.
Moreover, Barcelona's financial success has been bolstered by an increase in sponsorship income and record sales of club merchandise through its subsidiary, BLM. These factors collectively highlight the club's strong financial recovery and growth trajectory, setting a solid foundation for future seasons.
As FC Barcelona prepares for the General Assembly, the club's leadership is optimistic about maintaining this upward trend in revenue, which not only reflects the club's financial health but also its potential for future growth. The achievement of surpassing €1 billion in revenue is a testament to the club's resilience and strategic initiatives in a competitive sports market.
