For the year ending 31 May 2025, total revenue increased to £21.5m, up from £15m the previous season. The campaign included a UEFA Women’s Champions League title and a second-place finish in the Women’s Super League, contributing to increased visibility and commercial momentum. The club reported a £22,000 profit after tax, its first at this level.

Commercial revenue nearly tripled year on year, rising from £649,000 to £1.8m, while matchday revenue increased 35% to £5.9m. The growth was largely driven by playing nine of 11 home league fixtures at the Emirates Stadium, where average attendances reached 34,110. All home WSL matches will be staged there this season, with further increases expected.

Despite this progress, £11.9m in group income from the parent club remained the women’s team’s largest single revenue source. The accounts note that continued backing from Arsenal Football Club Limited and its ultimate owner, KSE UK Inc, has enabled sustained investment in the playing squad during a period of rapid growth for the women’s game.

Operating expenses rose to £21.6m from £15.4m, reflecting higher wages and operational costs. Staff wages increased by approximately 22% to £9.9m, excluding social security and pension contributions. The club also generated a £100,000 profit from the sale of player registrations.

Broadcast revenue more than doubled to just over £2m, up from £956,000, including £1.4m linked to the Champions League campaign. Domestic broadcast income, however, continues to represent a relatively small share of overall revenue.

The figures underline both the rapid commercial development of Arsenal Women and the ongoing role of parent-club investment as the women’s football economy continues to mature.
