The Green Bay Packers announced record revenue of $753 million for the 2025-26 fiscal year during a press conference at Lambeau Field. Despite the revenue increase, which saw a 54.8% rise from the previous year, the team reported a $1.1 million loss in profit from operations due to escalating player costs, which rose by approximately $130 million. Announcing these figures on July 24, Packers President and CEO Ed Policy acknowledged the challenges of maintaining financial stability amidst competitive pressures, particularly as the team navigates limited local income sources. The Packers managed to exceed revenue from the previous year with fewer home games and anticipate even higher earnings in the 2026-27 fiscal year as they prepare for more events and games.
