Arsenal earned a huge amount of money in the Champions League this season. |
In the early hours of May 6th, a 1-0 victory (2-1 on aggregate) against Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals sent the "Gunners" to Budapest, while also earning them an additional £15.97 million in prize money from UEFA. In the final on May 30th, Arsenal will face either Bayern Munich or PSG, with the chance to earn an additional £5.61 million if they win.
In total, Mikel Arteta's team pocketed £125.18 million in Champions League prize money from the start of the 2025/26 season. This figure reflects an outstanding European campaign both professionally and financially.
Right from the qualifying round, Arsenal demonstrated overwhelming strength by winning all 8 matches, thereby earning £15.8 million in prize money. Finishing first among the 36 participating teams brought in an additional £8.6 million, plus £11.3 million for directly qualifying for the round of 16.
Before entering the knockout stage, Arsenal secured approximately £85.3 million, including television rights and ranking funds. They then went on to overcome Bayer Leverkusen in the round of 16 and Sporting Lisbon in the quarter-finals, each round bringing in an additional £10.8 million.
Last season, Arsenal earned £98.63 million after being eliminated in the semi-finals. Meanwhile, champions PSG received approximately £121.7 million. With their current total earnings, Arsenal are very close to this figure and could even surpass it if they win in Budapest.
Revenue will play a crucial role in balancing the budget according to financial regulations, while also expanding spending capacity in the transfer market. A European title would not only be historically significant, but also a huge financial boost for the long-term ambitions of the Emirates Stadium team.
