Record Revenue for English Premier League Clubs Sets Off Calls for Fair Distribution to Lower Leagues

The Deloitte report showed that the combined revenue of English Premier League (EPL) clubs rose by 12% to a record £5.5bn during the 2021/22 season, largely due to record matchday revenue and an all-time high in commercial revenue.

The report also warned that Championship clubs are "living beyond their means," with wage costs remaining higher than revenue for the fifth consecutive year, and net debt remaining significant.

The report stated that the wealth of the Premier League has created pressure on clubs to give more money to lower leagues, and a new Independent Regulator has been announced to oversee the distribution of revenues between the leagues and clubs.
