By Statista Research Department

The Women's Super League (WSL), England's top-tier women's football league, has experienced significant financial growth in recent years. According to data published by Statista Research Department on June 28, 2023, 22 clubs in the FA WSL generated a combined revenue of £19 million in the 2021/22 season. This represents a substantial increase from the £11 million generated in the previous season.

The revenue growth of the WSL is attributed to several factors, including increased broadcast revenue, sponsorship deals, and ticket sales. The league has also benefited from the growing popularity of women's football, both in the United Kingdom and around the world.

Manchester City was the highest-earning club in the WSL in 2021/22, with a revenue of £6 million. The club's revenue was boosted by its participation in the UEFA Women's Champions League, as well as its strong commercial performance. Other clubs in the top five included Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur.

The financial growth of the WSL is a positive sign for the future of women's football in England. Increased revenue will allow clubs to invest in their infrastructure, coaching, and player development, which will ultimately lead to a stronger and more competitive league.
