The annual publication, which is designed to profile highest revenue generating clubs in world football from a commercial standpoint and in terms of other factors such as merchandising and sponsorship, shows that Aston Villa and Wolves are both in the top 30 clubs in the world in terms of revenue.

How much did Aston Villa make in terms of revenue during the 2024/25 season

Aston Villa competed in the Champions League last season for the first time since 1982/83 when they entered the competition as defending champions, although at the time the tournament was known as the European Cup instead.

Villa also held their own in the competition, finishing in eighth position to automatically progress to the last 16 while also defeating Club Brugge in the next round to advance into the quarter-final of the competition before eventually falling short to PSG.

The West Midlands outfit also finished sixth to secure Europa League football while only narrowly missing out on a place in the Champions League again due to controversy on the final day of the season when Morgan Rogers’ goal was disallowed against Manchester United. The club also reached the semi-final of the FA Cup in the same campaign.

All of this led to a 45% increase in revenue from the previous year, taking Villa’s overall earnings to €450.2m compared to €310.2m the previous year.

This puts the Lions 14th in the revenue table. The club’s been on the rise for a while and earned more than double the €207m they recorded in 2021.

How much did Wolves make in terms of revenue during the 2024/25 season

Wolves were ranked 27th in the revenue table and 13 places below Aston Villa. This is hardly a surprise based on the fact they finished 10 places below them in the league table and had no European fixtures to contend with during the campaign.

They made €206.3m in terms of revenue putting them below the likes of Everton, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and Brighton among others but slightly ahead of clubs like Brentford and Marseille.

Here is the latest Deloitte Football Money League table

1. Real Madrid – €1,161m
