A significant leap in value is largely due to their impressive challenge for the Premier League title.

Increasing brand value

Arsenal’s brand value has risen significantly. A strong showing in the Premier League has led to a 16% increase to £782 million, making the club one of the top 10 most valuable football brands worldwide.

This increase in value not only speaks volumes about Arsenal’s on-field prowess but also its robust fan base and commercial appeal.

The Premier League clubs – Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Chelsea – are part of the top 10, with Arsenal sitting right after Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.

Despite Chelsea’s value growing by 2%, their lower-half finish in the Premier League has resulted in them only being the sixth-highest English club.

Spurs’ value saw a modest 5% increase to £774 million.

Emerging players in the chart

London clubs Brentford and Fulham have made their debut in the top 50 chart, indicating the robust nature of football branding in the city.

It’s a reflection of the capital’s love for the sport and the quality of football on display.

While the report reflects positively on Arsenal, the growth of fellow clubs suggests the need for sustained efforts to retain and improve upon the current brand position.

As the competition heats up, the path forward will be to continue impressing on the field and attracting fans and sponsors off the field.
