Premier League revenue analysis: Commercial income boosted but still heavily reliant on TV money 

Anfield Road

PA Images | Liverpool had the biggest growth in commercial income in the Premier League in 2018/19. The club signed nine new partnerships over the period meaning Liverpool's commercial income grew by £34 million.

While the prevailing coronavirus situation has put a temporary stop to the football season, most Premier League clubs can at least find comfort in last year's growth.

Financial reports for 2018/19 reveal that commercial income accounts for the highest relative growth, with broadcasting income showing the largest absolute increase.

Increased value of overseas broadcasting rights, along with a new allocation method, will further widen the financial gap between the Premier League clubs going forward. 

Revenue in decline for six clubs.
