FC Porto recorded a loss of €21.1 million for the 2025/26 financial year, according to information published by several Portuguese media outlets, including Record, Maisfutebol, A Bola and zerozero. This result contrasts with the record profit of €39.2 million achieved the previous season, as several sources point out.

A deficit linked to the absence from the Champions League

According to RTP Desporto, the club justifies these figures by the lack of participation in the Champions League and by a significant investment in the squad. The Portuguese public broadcaster mentions a loss of more than €20 million, while other sources, such as Record, specify the exact amount of €21.1 million.

Figures that diverge depending on the source

However, a discrepancy has emerged among the media. While most report a loss of €21.1 million, RTP Desporto puts forward a different figure: €26.3 million. This difference is also noted by Maisfutebol, which asks: 'FC Porto: after all, did the SAD report a loss of €21 million... or €31 million?' The outlet thus raises uncertainty over the exact amount of the losses.

A contrasting year

The FC Porto report and accounts for 2025/26 were presented on 8 October, according to several sources. The club, which had enjoyed a particularly profitable 2024/25, must now contend with financial difficulties linked to its absence from the most prestigious of European competitions.
