Despite an almost complete loss of matchday revenue in the 2020/21 season, the European football market grew defiantly in revenue terms by 10% to €27.6 billion, according to Deloitte’s “Annual Review of Football Finance” report.
Broadcasters’ revenues for live football matches to their domestic leagues and the UEFA Champions League will reach US$10.5 billion in the 2021/22 season (the first season when fans return to stadia) in the top five European countries.
Football remains debatable whether broadcast revenues are finally beginning to plateau, says Deloitte in its new report into the financing of football, titled Football Money League 2020.
