Revenue for Premiership Rugby Teams in the 2020/21 Season

The 2020/21 season reflected the full impact of COVID-19 on Premiership Rugby finances, with Sale Sharks recording the highest revenue at £23.55 million while most clubs experienced significant declines. Exeter Chiefs saw the most dramatic revenue drop to £9.63 million (down 43% from £16.96 million in 2019/20), primarily due to lost matchday revenues from closed stadiums. League-wide revenues compressed substantially, with eight clubs reporting revenues below £18 million compared to just four clubs in the pre-pandemic 2019/20 season.
