Arsenal are set to shatter Premier League financial records after ending their 22-year wait for the league title, with the club projected to generate up to £770 million in revenue this season.
The Gunners’ historic title-winning campaign has already surpassed the previous Premier League revenue benchmark of £715 million set by Manchester City.

According to reports by The Times, Arsenal have already secured approximately £760 million following their domestic success and deep run in Europe, with the figure expected to rise further.
The projected revenue could lift Arsenal to third place in global football’s financial rankings behind only Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The north London club generated £691 million last season, but their Premier League triumph and strong UEFA Champions League campaign have significantly boosted commercial and prize earnings.

Arsenal could increase its revenue even further if the Gunners defeat Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the UEFA Champions League final later this month in Budapest to secure the club’s first-ever European crown.
Winning the Champions League would also guarantee qualification for the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup, although Arsenal could still qualify through UEFA’s coefficient rankings even if they lose the final.
Chelsea reportedly earned around £90 million after winning the inaugural edition of the revamped Club World Cup last summer, underlining the financial rewards attached to the competition.
Arsenal are also expected to receive approximately £25 million more in Premier League prize money following their title-winning season.
The club are now preparing to reward manager Mikel Arteta with a new contract after guiding Arsenal to their first league title since 2004.
