What is Manchester City’s annual revenue?
At around 826 million euros,
Manchester City’ total revenue for 2022/23 was the second highest out of any club worldwide, with only Real Madrid generating more. Nearly half of this sum came from commercial sales, while broadcasting contributed over 340 million euros. Meanwhile,
City’s brand value rose to over 1.56 billion U.S. dollars in 2023 – the highest in the Premier League. Despite their success, ticket prices remain cheap in comparison to other top-tier clubs: at 385 British pounds, City had one of the

Why are Manchester City so successful?
In 2023/24, City became the first club to ever win four consecutive Premier League titles and have every chance of extending their run in 2024/25. One key factor in the club’s success has been the manager: Pep Guardiola. It is no exaggeration to say that the man from Catalonia has revolutionized how football is played, and
Pep’s managerial trophies confirm his status as one of the all-time greats.

With an investigation taking place in November 2024, Manchester City’s legacy could well be on the line.
