Marca: Real Madrid will submit a record budget of €1.248 billion for the 2025-26 season

According to the Spanish "Marca" report, Real Madrid Club will submit a record budget for the 2025-26 season to member representatives, with regular revenue reaching 1.248 billion euros, excluding player transfer revenue.

This is the most ambitious financial document submitted by the Real Madrid club to the conference, and it also reflects a clear trend change. The revenue growth is mainly due to the Bernabeu Stadium.

Revenue is expected to increase by 63.5 million euros compared with the end of the 2024-25 fiscal year. At the internal budget conference, Real Madrid pointed out that this growth relies on two pillars: the operation of the Bernabeu Stadium and the new commercial cooperation agreement.

The Bernabeu Stadium has become the club's financial engine, able to continue to generate revenue regardless of the game schedule.

The operation of the Santiago Bernabeu has already left a significant mark on the accounts for the 2024-25 financial year, with the club earning €79.1 million from new business at the venue alone - excluding traditional ticket revenue and match-related VIP areas.

For the 2025-26 season, the budget is expected to achieve further growth, thanks to the full opening of the catering area, the full opening of the VIP area and the introduction of international competitions.

The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium is promoting the development of the club's sports business, not only generating revenue when there are football games, but also generating revenue even when there are no games.
