Arsenal has taken top spot in Deloitte's Money League for women's football, with a significant increase in revenue to £21.5m. The Gunners have been successful on the pitch, winning the Champions League, and this success has paid off in terms of increased revenue.

The analysis by Deloitte reveals that Arsenal moved from second place last year to first place, overtaking Barcelona. Chelsea is second with £21.3m, while the top 15 clubs generated a record-breaking £132.8m - up 35.5% on the previous year.

English clubs dominate the list for the second consecutive year, with eight Women's Super League sides in the top 15. However, after a record-breaking 2023-24, five teams reported a season-on-season drop in attendance.

Arsenal's success can be attributed to their creativity and innovation in growing attendances. The club has carried out workshops with supporters on how to improve matchday experiences, discussing topics such as music playlists before kick-off, banners, and improvements to baby changing room facilities. Evidence of the workshops was seen in a new mural created for lifetime supporter Marie Petri.

The top three clubs alone account for 46% of the total revenue generated by the top 15 clubs. While this growth is welcome news for the sport, it also highlights the significant gap between the top-ranked clubs and the rest of the pack.

Bayern Munich's revenue doubled from £3m in 2024 to £6m in 2025 after winning the inaugural World Sevens Football tournament last May. The study notes that tournaments such as this are vital for further growing the women's game, with commercial revenues making up almost three-quarters of all growth figures.

Deloitte's knowledge and insight lead, Jennifer Haskel, stated that the increasing revenue in the women's game is due to creativity and innovation by clubs meeting the needs of their emerging fanbases.
 
"Believe you can and you're halfway there." 🏆👍

I think it's awesome that Arsenal has taken top spot in Deloitte's Money League for women's football, showing that the Gunners are truly killing it on the pitch! But at the same time, I'm a bit worried about the gap between the top-ranked clubs and the rest of the pack. It just goes to show how competitive the sport is, and we need to keep pushing ourselves to innovate and grow.

And hey, who wouldn't want to see more female football fans attending matches? The Gunners' creative approach to improving matchday experiences is definitely inspiring! 💡
 
🙄 I mean, who wouldn't want to spend millions on baby changing room facilities? Priorities, people! But seriously, it's nice to see Arsenal getting some recognition for their efforts in making women's football more... well, exciting for fans like me. 🤔

I'm not surprised that Bayern Munich's revenue doubled after winning a tournament, though - I mean, who wouldn't want to attend a World Sevens Football tournament? Sounds like a real party 🎉. And can we talk about how crazy it is that the top three clubs account for 46% of the total revenue generated by the top 15 clubs? Sounds like there's still some room for growth (or just pure dominance) in the women's game 🤑.

It's all good, though - more money for women's football can only mean one thing: better players, better stadiums, and maybe even a few more fans who aren't just, you know, their husbands or something 👀.
 
🙏 It's amazing to see how far the women's football has come! Arsenal kicking off at number one on Deloitte's Money League is a huge achievement, especially with all the hard work they've put in behind the scenes. 🎨 Those workshops with supporters really paid off - it's brilliant that they're engaging with fans and making matchday experiences more enjoyable for everyone. 😊 The record-breaking revenue is a great sign for the future of women's football, but it's also interesting to see the gap between top clubs and others... maybe there's room for some mid-table teams to pick up some tips? 🤔
 
I'm loving how Arsenal is killing it on the pitch and in the financials 🤑👏! It's no surprise they're taking top spot now, but I do think it's a bit concerning that only eight English clubs made it into the top 15 - what about all those talented teams from other countries? 😐 Still, can't deny that the Gunners are doing something right 💯. And yeah, let's give it up for the ladies who made some amazing changes to matchday experiences 🎨👧. Now if only we could get more of those baby changing room improvements across the board... 👶. Would love to see more women in leadership roles, too - I'm sure they'd make some awesome decisions 💼.
 
Women's football is killing it 💸🏀💪! Arsenal's on fire 🔥 and it's not just about the pitch, they're crushing it on branding too 🎨! Maybe we can learn from Bayern Munich's World Sevens win, that tournament is giving the ladies a boost 🌟. Can't wait to see what the future holds for our favorite teams 💕
 
This is like a perfect example of trickle down economics 🤔. You've got the top clubs making all this money from tournaments and then they're passing it on to the rest of the league, but only in a small fraction. I mean, 46% of the total revenue for the top three clubs alone? That's like, what are we doing here? Don't get me wrong, it's great to see more revenue coming into the women's game, but we need to be thinking about how we're going to distribute that money more evenly. Is Bayern Munich's revenue doubling just because they won a tournament or is there something else at play? And what about those five teams who reported a drop in attendance? That's like, what went wrong? We can't just keep relying on the top clubs to carry the rest of the league.
 
I mean, it's dope to see Arsenal killin' the game and takin' the top spot in Deloitte's Money League for women's football 🤑. 21.5 million quid is no joke, fam! They must be doin' somethin' right, 'cause their creativity and innovation are payin' off big time 💡. I'm lovin' the fact that they're usin' workshops to improve matchday experiences for fans - like, music playlists before kick-off? That's next level, bruv! 🎵 And it's sick to see a new mural created for a lifetime supporter - that's what it's all about, community and fan engagement 🎨. But at the same time, I'm worried 'bout the gap between the top clubs and the rest of the pack - we need more investment in the lower leagues to keep the game growin' 💸. Still, this is a great step forward for women's football, and I'm hyped to see where this momentum takes us! 🚀
 
🤔 gotta say, its awesome 2 see english clubs dominating the list again! 🏆 the way arsenal is engaging with their fans and improving matchday experiences is super clever - music playlists before kick-off? banners? baby changing room upgrades? its all about creating a fun atmosphere for everyone. 💖 and im glad 2 hear that deloitte recognizes the importance of tournaments like the world sevens football tournament in growing the women's game 🌟 especially with commercial revenues making up almost three-quarters of all growth figures. 💸
 
Blimey! Can you believe it? Women's football is really taking off 🤩. I mean, I remember when the WSL was still a tiny league, nobody knew what to make of it. But now, look at Arsenal top of the Deloitte Money League with that £21.5m revenue 💸. It's all thanks to the Gunners being super creative with their matchday experience, like having workshops with supporters and even a new mural for this one fan 🎨. That's the kind of innovation we need more of in football! And it's not just Arsenal, Chelsea's doing alright too, but that £21.3m is still a whoppin' 35% less than last year 😬.

I'm glad to see English clubs dominating the list, eight out of the top 15 is no joke 🤯. But at the same time, it highlights the gap between the top teams and the rest. Bayern Munich's revenue doubled after winning that World Sevens tournament, now they're on the map ⬆️. It's all about these tournaments helping to grow the women's game, according to Deloitte. I reckon we'll see more of this kind of thing happening in the future 📈.
 
I gotta say, it's crazy to see how much money Arsenal made! £21.5m is a lot, but I'm not sure if it's worth all the fuss...I mean, have you seen the prices of tickets and merchandise lately? It feels like they're pricing out regular fans just so the big bucks can come in.

And what's with this trend of clubs trying to "improve" the matchday experience for their fans? I get that innovation is cool, but sometimes I think it just makes things more overpriced and exclusive. Like, do we really need a playlist before kick-off? 😂

I'm glad that Bayern Munich had a boost in revenue after winning that tournament, though. More competition is always good for the women's game, and if clubs are going to make money from tournaments like that, it should be used to invest in more grassroots programs and development of female players.

The stats do show that English clubs are dominating the list again, which isn't necessarily a bad thing...but what about the rest of Europe? Are they just not adapting as well to the changing landscape of women's football? 🤔
 
idk why people are hyped about arsenal getting more revenue, its just a bunch of money 🤑. i think its actually pretty weird how they're making so much from just 1 season of winning... shouldn't that be more consistent or something? also, £21.5m is nothing compared to the real money teams like bayern munich are making now that they've got some actual experience in tournaments 🤷‍♂️. it's also kinda sad that 5 teams out of 15 had a drop in attendance... maybe its time for them to rethink their strategy?
 
I'm loving this trend of clubs getting more creative with their matchday experiences lol 🤩. I mean, who wouldn't want to see music playlists before kick-off or baby changing room upgrades? 💼 It's amazing how something as simple as that can bring fans back in droves! 🎉 Arsenal seems like the team that's really on top of this though, they're like, totally killing it in terms of revenue. £21.5m is insane 😲. What I find a bit weird though is that five teams reported a drop in attendance after last year's record-breaking season? 🤔 Are clubs just, like, not trying hard enough anymore or what? 🤑 Anyway, Deloitte's got some solid stats on the top 15 and it's clear that English clubs are still dominating the scene 🏆. But I guess it's all good for the women's game, right? 🤗
 
I think its really cool how Arsenal is killing it on and off the pitch 💥. What Im saying is that when we put effort into creating an amazing experience for our fans, it pays off in a big way 🤑. It's all about innovating and meeting people where they are at. They're not just thinking about the game itself, but how to make it special for everyone involved - from the music playlists to the baby changing room facilities 😂. That kind of creativity can really drive growth and change the game (pun intended 🤣). Its a great reminder that success isnt just about winning or making money, its about creating something that brings value to everyone involved 💖.
 
Yaaas 🤩, it's amazing to see Arsenal take the top spot in Deloitte's Money League! 💸 Their commitment to growing attendances and improving matchday experiences is seriously inspiring. I mean, who wouldn't want to create a mural for Marie Petri after attending an event? 🎨👏 It just shows that clubs are willing to listen to their fans and adapt to make the game more enjoyable for everyone.

I'm also loving how Bayen Munich's revenue doubled after winning that World Sevens Football tournament! 💥 That's exactly what tournaments like this need - a boost of commercial revenue to help grow the women's game. And it's great to see clubs investing in their fans' experiences, because at the end of the day, that's what it's all about.

But seriously though...let's keep pushing for more growth and equality in the women's game! 🤝 It's awesome to see English clubs dominating the list, but we need more countries and teams to get in on this action too. Let's make 2025 an even bigger year for women's football! 💪
 
Wow 🤩 this is insane! Women's football is taking off and it's not just about the games anymore, it's about creating an experience for fans 💕 Arsenal is killing it with these workshops and it's amazing to see them engage with their supporters like that 🎨 I'm also loving how Bayern Munich's revenue doubled after winning that World Sevens Football tournament last year, it shows how important tournaments are in growing the game 🏆
 
I'm super shocked that Arsenal took the top spot in Deloitte's Money League for women's football! Like, isn't it awesome how they've managed to increase revenue so much? I mean, who wouldn't want to watch more football games and buy merch? But seriously, what's up with Bayern Munich doubling their revenue overnight just because they won a tournament? That's some next-level marketing right there 🤯. And can we talk about the top three clubs hogging all the cash for a sec? I mean, I get it, winning championships is great and all, but shouldn't that money be spread out a bit more? It feels like the rest of the teams are just playing catch-up.
