Chelsea posted a profit of £128.4m in the previous year’s accounts but this was aided by the sale of the women’s team to Blueco Midco, a subsidiary company for nearly £200 million. Chelsea said that the losses were due in part to increased operating costs in 2024/25 compared to the previous year.

Last month, Chelsea admitted to breaching Premier League rules in relation to some £47.5 million of undisclosed payments made under former owner Roman Abramovich. The Blues were fined £10.75 million and given a suspended one-year transfer ban by the Premier League. But, unlike other clubs, they escaped a points deduction — a move justified by the Premier League on the grounds that Chelsea’s new owners, a consortium led by US businessman Todd Boehly, had self-reported the information that led to an investigation and had demonstrated “exceptional co-operation” throughout.

The rules allow for maximum losses of £105 million over three years, but some of the losses clubs post in their financial reports can be overlooked under PSR –- for example spending on women’s football and youth development. Chelsea also announced on Wednesday that their women’s team, champions of England’s elite Women’s Super League for the past three seasons, posted a loss of £17.1 million, despite generating £21.3 million in revenue.
