In brief

In the year to 30 June 2025, Aston Villa brought in revenue of £378.1m. The club made an operating loss of £139.7m and ended the year with net assets of £321.1m. FY2024 is not directly comparable, so no year-on-year change is given.

More revenue is not the same as financial health: read it alongside profit or loss, cash and net assets.
