Manchester United reported its third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025 with total revenue of £160.5 million, up 17.4% year over year driven by gains across commercial, broadcasting and matchday lines. Commercial revenue rose 7.3% to £74.7 million on the new Qualcomm shirt deal and SCAYLE e-commerce launch; matchday revenue jumped 50.3% to £44.5 million on four extra home fixtures and strong hospitality demand; broadcasting rose 10.1% to £41.3 million. Operating expenses fell 20.4% to £162.1 million as employee costs declined on squad and restructuring actions, and the quarterly loss after tax narrowed sharply to £2.7 million from £71.4 million a year ago.

  • Total Q3 revenue reached £160.5M (+17.4% YoY) with matchday up 50.3% to £44.5M on four additional home games and strong hospitality uptake.
  • Commercial revenue grew 7.3% to £74.7M, helped by the Qualcomm front-of-shirt sponsorship and the new SCAYLE e-commerce platform.
