FC Barcelona Women Approaches €30 Million in Revenue and Profits €8 Million After 33% Growth

The FC Barcelona women’s team approached €30 million in revenue and earned €8 million after achieving a 33% growth. The club, a reigning champion of Liga F and the Women’s Champions League, reported significant revenue growth due to sponsorships contributing €20 million. According to data from Intelligence 2P, the professional section's ordinary revenue reached €28.8 million during the 2025-2026 season, ranking among the highest in Europe, while achieving a record profit of €8.5 million, quadrupling last season’s earnings. This financial success contrasted sharply with other sections of the club, which continued to report losses.

In terms of commercial strategy, revenues from sponsorships and commercial activities became crucial for the women’s team. In the 2025-2026 season, these commercial revenues rose to €19.7 million, marking a 22% increase compared to the previous year. Just three seasons ago, these earnings were below €9 million. The sustainable growth of the women's sector was also recognized as sponsorships remained relatively stable, with 17 prime partners, including Bimbo and Vueling, alongside Spotify as the main sponsor and Nike as the technical sponsor. The women’s team is included in Google’s global sponsorship activation plan with FC Barcelona.

The increase in revenue, however, was significantly driven by strong matchday and television revenues. The matchday revenue, which includes ticket sales and season passes related to games and friendly matches, surged by 64% to €6.1 million. With the reopening of the renovated Spotify Camp Nou, further growth is expected in the upcoming seasons. Also noteworthy was the increase in audiovisual revenue primarily from European competitions, generating €3 million for the women's team, a 61% rise compared to the previous season, thanks to their victory in the Women’s Champions League and success in domestic competitions.

In terms of expenses, the management of player salaries exceeded €15 million for the first time in the 2025-2026 season. This increase, which reached €15.2 million, reflected a 14% year-on-year growth, and most of the salary expenses were attributed to non-sporting staff, indicating a shift towards greater professionalization of the women’s team. Additionally, transfer profits doubled to nearly €840,000, while amortization costs on signings fell by 20% to €260,000. A substantial investment was noted this summer following the official exits of key players, including Mapi León, Salma Paralluelo, and two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas. Regarding the budget for the 2026-2027 season, the club maintained its policy of not disclosing these figures for a second consecutive year.
