SPFL distributes record £49.6m to clubs in past year

The Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) has reported distributing a record £49.6m to its clubs in the past year, an 18% increase from the previous year. This rise, amounting to £7.6m, is largely due to revenue generated from broadcasting deals, licensing, match data, and sponsorships. SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster highlighted the strong financial results as evidence of the league's ongoing appeal amid competitive international rights markets. Additionally, Scottish Premiership attendance surpassed four million for the first time, reflecting the league's successful balancing act between broadcast revenue and match-day attendance. Uefa reported six million Scottish supporters engaged with men's matches during the 2025-26 campaign.
