FC Barcelona has closed its 2025-26 accounts without Joan Laporta present, and the board was told this Wednesday that the club will go beyond 1,000 million euros in revenue and could finish close to 1,100 million. It is another sign of scale for a club moving through a major financial cycle, but the next assembly has still not been scheduled.
The meeting had originally been delayed on Tuesday after Laporta underwent surgery for a cardiac arrhythmia. On Wednesday, the board met in his absence and dealt with the latest account figures, while also leaving open the timing of the member assembly that must still approve several key decisions.
A new revenue benchmark for Barça
The headline number is straightforward: FC Barcelona are set to report a level of income that would move them into a new bracket. The board was informed that the club will exceed 1,000 million euros and likely reach about 1,100 million euros in revenue, which would place this cycle well above the figures seen in recent years.
Before the pandemic, Josep Maria Bartomeu's record for FC Barcelona revenues stood at 990 kilos. That mark has now been overtaken, first by the 994 million euros closed in the 2024-25 season, and now by a projection that pushes much closer to 1,100 million.
For a club like Barça, that matters because revenue is not just a vanity figure. It feeds directly into the broader conversation around sponsorships, bonds and debt financing, all of which remain part of the same financial puzzle.
The next assembly is still the key date
The unresolved issue is not whether the numbers are strong. It is when the members will be asked to approve the next stage.
The club is working through decisions linked to the credit and sponsorship approvals, and the next assembly is needed for those steps. That is why the absence of a set date is so notable. The board may have closed the accounts, but it has not yet moved the process all the way through.
There is also a cash-flow element still to come. In July, FC Barcelona drew the first 105 million euros of the requested credit to face the transfer market, and in November the club will need the remaining 105 million euros. That makes the timing of the remaining approvals more than a formality.
In other words, this was an important board meeting, but not a final one. Barça have shown once again that the revenue base is moving in the right direction, yet the club still has to complete the formal steps that allow the financial plan to keep working. The next assembly will tell the clearer story.
