Tottenham Hotspur lead the league in money made per fan
Tottenham Hotspur’s ability to generate significant matchday revenue per fan underscores the success of their state-of-the-art stadium and fan engagement strategies. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021-22 season marked a return to full-capacity matches, allowing Spurs to maximize their earnings.
The opening of Tottenham’s £1 billion stadium five years ago heralded a new era for the club, providing them with top-tier facilities and amenities. However, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted their initial plans, forcing matches to be played behind closed doors during the 2019-20 season and limiting revenue opportunities. [The Sun]
In the subsequent season, the absence of fans greatly impacted matchday earnings for Tottenham and other clubs across the league. However, the 2021-22 campaign saw a resurgence in matchday revenue as fans returned to stadiums in full force, eager to experience live football once again.

Football finance expert Kieran Maguire’s method for calculating matchday income per fan provides insight into the financial performance of Premier League clubs. By dividing matchday revenue by average attendance and adjusting for the number of home games played, Maguire’s analysis offers a comprehensive understanding of each club’s revenue generation capabilities.
Tottenham’s ability to earn £71.23 per fan on matchdays speaks volumes about the club’s successful utilization of their stadium and surrounding amenities. The inclusion of catering revenue, which alone amounted to £800,000 per matchday, further highlights the club’s multifaceted approach to maximizing earnings.
The stadium’s extended opening hours, allowing fans to enjoy the pre-match atmosphere and post-match festivities, contribute to the overall matchday experience and enhance revenue streams. This fan-centric approach aligns with Tottenham’s commitment to providing supporters with an immersive and enjoyable matchday experience.
While Tottenham led the Premier League in matchday revenue per fan during the 2021-22 season, other top clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal followed suit.
