The 92 professional soccer teams in the English Premier League (EPL) and the three divisions below have amassed a record £5.8 billion ($7.3 billion) in revenue during the 2017/18 season, topping the table of Europe's elite leagues.

Deloitte Sports Business Group's annual review of football finance found that Premier League club revenues rose to £4.8 billion, an increase of 6% from the season before. This was driven by growth in the distribution to English clubs by governing body UEFA, as five teams competed in the UEFA Champions League (Europe's top-tier soccer competition) for the first time in 2017/18, which also saw Liverpool reach the final, before eventually losing to Real Madrid.

The report found that as a whole, the "big five" European leagues (England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France) generated a record £13.8 billion in revenue in 2017/18, which was a 6% increase from the previous year.

The European football market is now estimated to be worth £25.1 billion. In revenue terms, the Premier League continues to lead the way and is 72% larger than its nearest competitor, Germany's Bundesliga. However, German stadiums remain the best attended across the European leagues, with average crowds of over 43,000 for this current season.
