The Premier League is one of the richest divisions in global football. Admired around the world, the English top flight is a melting pot of supreme talent, international fanbases, and huge media attention.
Unsurprisingly, that level of interest generates more than its fair share of revenue. From commercial ventures, to matchday income, to broadcast rights and money, the Premier League is, to put it one way, not short of a bob or two.
But the distribution of that wealth is far from even. Off The Pitch have delivered their annual forecast of how much each top flight club is expected to generate in revenue over the course of the 2022/23 campaign - and it certainly makes for interesting reading.
The difference between the league’s top earners and its lowest is a monumental £464 million, but where do Leeds United lie on that broad spectrum, and how do they measure up compared to their nearest rivals? By combining expected revenue from commercial, matchday, and broadcast incomes, Off The Pitch have been able to predict a total figure for each club, which we have ranked from highest to lowest in our gallery below...
