$1.39 billion in operating revenue. Real Madrid posted that figure for the 2025/26 season, and the club is calling it a new record for any sporting entity globally.
The record and its qualifier
The phrase "sporting entity" carries the claim. It reaches across professional football clubs, sports franchises, and international governing bodies. Real Madrid is placing its 2025/26 operating revenue above every prior high in that entire category.
The $1.39 billion covers a full season of activity, labeled as operating revenue for 2025/26.
What the disclosure does not yet show
No component split has been published alongside the headline. The portion attributable to matchday receipts, broadcast distributions, or commercial income cannot be calculated from available information. Segment margins and revenue concentration are outstanding.
There is no prior-year figure in this disclosure. Without a 2024/25 operating revenue total beside the 2025/26 result, year-over-year growth cannot be sourced. The record is Real Madrid's own characterization. The math behind it awaits a full financial filing.
