Barça shows accounts: record revenues and higher budget
Laporta will take the 2025-26 closing and the 2026-27 budget to a vote: record operating income, negative net result, and a growth forecast.
FC Barcelona has made its accounts available to members, covering both the 2025-26 closing and the 2026-27 budget, which will be put to a vote at the Ordinary General Assembly on Saturday, 19 September, according to Mundo Deportivo.
In the last season, operating revenues finished at €1.060bn, a new high. The figure tops the €994m recorded in 2024-25, though it is slightly below the €1.075bn originally budgeted. The report says the ordinary result is positive by €0.2m, but once extraordinary items are included, the balance drops to -€14m before tax.
The numbers after extras
After adding the impact related to company amounts, the final net result is negative at -€18m. Mundo Deportivo also notes that, had a player transfer taken place before 30 June 2026, the net closing would have been positive.
Sponsorships and VIP seat PSLs
On the extraordinary side, the club created PSLs (Personal Seating Licenses) with an updated positive value of €9.5m, linked to VIP seat licensing at the Spotify Camp Nou to New Era Visionary Group and Forta Advisors. Separately, Barça carried out—like in 2024-25—a write-down of the Societat Barça Produccions value. The extraordinary expense is listed as -€23m before tax, leaving a total value of €116m (with the club’s stake valued at €73m). The club’s overall share rises from 53.4% to 63.14% thanks to a credit-right forgiveness and a new payment schedule.
Sponsorship income stands at €265m, a club record, while €208m from Barça Licensing and Merchandising also tops the previous season. For the 2026-27 budget, with the full campaign already at the Spotify Camp Nou and a planned capacity expansion in the first half of 2027, the projected operating income is €1.195bn, with a net result of +€1m, since no extraordinary operations are planned. The club forecasts a sporting cost (wages plus amortisation) at 53%—€636m—and, as Mundo Deportivo underlines, the higher total revenue should help manage key renewals and strengthen sections such as basketball.
