Premier League clubs’ revenues rose to more than £5 billion (£5.2bn) for the first time, an increase of 7%, driven by growth in UEFA distributions to English clubs;
Premier League clubs’ aggregate operating profits slipped by 5% to £824m in 2018/19. This is nonetheless, the third highest level of Premier League operating profitability ever;
Premier League clubs made combined pre-tax losses of £165m in 2018/19 as the charge for amortisation of previous player acquisitions increased and net profit on player transfers fell;. Premier League clubs’ revenues are expected to decline sharply in 2019/20 before rebounding to a new record high in 2020/21 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which will cause both a permanent loss of some 2019/20 revenue and a deferral of some revenue from the 2019/20 financial year to 2020/21.
