Chelsea have announced the biggest pre-tax loss in Premier League history.

The £262m deficit for 2024-25 eclipses the £179.5m lost by Manchester City in 2011.

It comes despite Chelsea bringing in £490.9m in revenue, which the club says is the second highest total in their history.

In 2024-25 the Blues won the Uefa Conference League and Club World Cup, and finished fourth in the Premier League.
