However, it seems that clubs outside the top 8 struggle to generate significant revenue from sponsorship deals and must rely heavily on TV rights revenue.

Leading the way is Manchester City, which has topped the list with a record-breaking £258.05m in sponsorship revenue. Manchester City is unique among English Premier League clubs in that it has installed ‘double size’ LED boards at the Etihad Stadium, which helps to generate more visibility for fans in the stadium, broadcast audience, social media, and news media. This leads to increased brand and earned media value.

This is closely followed by Manchester United, who have generated £192.5m in sponsorship deals.

Chelsea and Liverpool also feature highly on the list, with revenues of £156.25m and £144m respectively. Meanwhile, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur round out the top six with £126.33m and £106.25m in sponsorship revenue.

Leicester City, Newcastle United, and Everton make up the middle of the table, with revenues of £28.83m, £28.5m, and £27m respectively. West Ham United, Brighton, and Bournemouth follow closely behind, with £23m, £17.78m, and £15.25m in sponsorship revenue.
