West Ham’s poor form, lesser matches on tv and lack of Europe is likely to decrease their revenue significantly this season.
The Irons finished 14th in the Premier League table which will earn them £19.7m. Eighteen of our 38 matches were broadcast on live tv which comes to around £16m in fees and bonuses.
West Ham and the other 19 clubs automatically receive around £95m through an equal share distributed based on both the domestic (£31.2m in 2023/24) and international (£55.7m in 2023/24) broadcast deals.
Last season, West Ham received another £102.6m in revenue as a result of a boost of three years in Europe (£44.6m Match Day/Ticketing, £41.9m Commercial/Sponsorship and £16.1m in Retail). That is expected to fall to less then £85m this season, highlighting how important Europe can be financially.
The Hammers’ total revenue last season, our final year in European football was £267m. This season it is expected to fall over £50m to around £216m, which could potentially mean we have less the spend in the transfer window than the previous years when we were in Europe.
