Scarlets report £2.1m loss amid uncertain rugby climate

Scarlets announced a £2.1 million loss for the 2024-2025 season, marking the third consecutive year of losses exceeding £2 million. Total turnover decreased significantly from £11.3 million to £10.2 million, driven by declines in gate receipts and sponsorship. Efforts to cut costs included reducing the wage bill by 16%. The club’s chairman noted the challenging environment due to the Welsh Rugby Union's proposal to reduce professional teams from four to three by 2028-29. Scarlets are also working toward finalizing a new Professional Rugby Agreement to help stabilize finances.
