Aston Villa have released their accounts for the 2024/25 season, revealing a profit after tax of £17 million.
Total revenue reached £378.1m for the period, up 37 per cent from £275.7m the previous year. The single biggest driver was participation in the Champions League, with Villa progressing to the quarter-finals in their first return to the competition since the 1982/83 season.
That run generated significant broadcast revenue, matchday income and prize money that were not available in the previous year.
Commercial performance also strengthened as sponsorship revenue rose by 31 per cent to £28.6m, while other commercial income increased by 69 per cent to £70m.
Capital expenditure rose sharply to £69.3m – more than four times the £16.4m invested in the previous year – as the club undertook a comprehensive refurbishment of hospitality lounges at Villa Park ahead of Champions League fixtures, opened new flagship retail stores both at the North Grounds area of Villa Park and in the Bullring shopping centre.
The Warehouse, a 3,500-capacity multi-use entertainment venue at Villa Park, opened in December, while Bodymoor Heath has received significant upgrades too, including a new rehabilitation centre for the men’s first-team.
Meanwhile, preparatory works have begun on the previously announced redevelopment of the North Stand, which will see the capacity of Villa Park rise above 50,000.
In their accounts, Villa also confirmed that, in June 2025, NSWE Sports Limited transferred ownership of both Aston Villa Women’s Football Club and the subsidiary holding the operating rights to The Warehouse venue to NSWE Holding Limited, itself a subsidiary of NSWE UK Limited.
The club states the move was designed to allow those businesses to attract external investment independently, without requiring investors to take on exposure to the men’s football operation.
Villa’s accounts add that the club continues to operate within the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) – a constraint that has shaped transfer strategy across recent windows.
The club end their statement with: “The owners of Aston Villa remain committed to the long-term, sustainable development of the club and look forward to continued progress on the delivery of the Club’s strategic objectives.”
