Chelsea report record pre-tax loss and avoid points deduction
Chelsea have announced a Premier League record pre-tax loss of £262.4 million for the year ending June 30, 2025. The club attributed the losses to increased operating costs in 2024/25 and compared the figure to their previous year’s profit. Despite breaching Premier League rules under former owner Roman Abramovich, Chelsea avoided a points deduction due to self-reporting and cooperation. The club’s women’s team also posted a loss despite strong revenue.
