#8 Chelsea - €428m
For the third consecutive year, Chelsea remain in 8th place of the Deloitte Football Money League, although the Blues had been higher up in previous years.
Chelsea's lack of European action in 2016/17 saw their matchday revenue fall by 18% (€16.8m) to €76.2m, down from the €93m they earned in each of the previous two years. The lack of European competition in 2016/17 had an effect on broadcast revenue as well, which fell from €191m to €189.1m; while commercial revenue remained stable at €162.7m
In total, Chelsea saw a decrease of 4.3% (€19.4m) in revenue. The club have stated that they seek to double revenue in the next decade by increasing commercial revenue - coupled with on-pitch success, the Blues are on target to rise up the DFML in the coming years.
