Published by Data Insights Team•Feb 21, 2026
Bristol Bears maintained the highest liabilities in 2019/20 at £49.92 million, with Newcastle Falcons at £37.27 million and Leicester Tigers at £33.90 million. The liability landscape remained relatively stable compared to 2018/19, though several clubs showed modest increases in borrowing. This season marked the beginning of pandemic-related financial pressures that would necessitate emergency government-backed loans in 2020/21.
