Arsenal: Why the Gunners are Set to Overtake Liverpool as Richest Club in England

Arsenal are reportedly set to overtake Liverpool as the richest club in England thanks to their hugely successful 2025-26 season.

The Gunners are in prime position to win both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League and this will significantly boost the club’s coffers.

Mikel Arteta’s team will face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final while in the Premier League, they are five points ahead of Manchester City with three games remaining and while Pep Guardiola’s side have a game in hand, they will not catch the North London giants even if they win all their matches.

According to Sky Sports, Arsenal, who were third with a revenue of £691 million, behind Liverpool (£703m) and Manchester City FC (£694m) among Premier League clubs in 2024-25, will overtake both of them this season.

“We think Arsenal are on course to become the richest club in the Premier League when Premier League clubs publish their accounts,” Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol said on the outlet.

“Arsenal’s £691 million, was last season when they reached the semi-finals of Champions League and also, they finished second in the Premier League. Now, they are going to get more money from reaching the final of the Champions League this time round.

“They have already made £122 million from reaching the final and that would increase by a further £10 million if they were to win the final,” he further stated.

The outlet also says the Gunners’ other commercial deals will boost their accounts even more as they have seen a massive increase in money generated in the last one year.

“Arsenal are phenomenally successful commercially as well. If you look at their latest set of accounts, their commercial income, deals they do with other companies, up 41 per cent to £264 million,” added Solhekol.

Arsenal are enjoying the fruits of their decision to stick with Arteta and backing him in the transfer market as the Spanish coach has built one of the most formidable teams in Europe and are now heavily favoured to end the club’s six-year trophy drought this season.
