Green Bay, Wisconsin—Major Financial Growth Reported by NFL’s Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers have reported a significant increase in their financial performance for the 2025 fiscal year, reflecting the overall prosperity of the National Football League (NFL). According to their latest financial disclosures, the team’s revenue reached $719.1 million, marking a 9.9% rise compared to the previous year.
Record Revenue Highlights
For the 2024 fiscal year, each of the 32 NFL teams received $432.6 million in revenue, totaling a record $13.8 billion in national earnings during this period. These figures underscore the NFL’s escalating financial strength, driven largely by lucrative television broadcasting deals and robust viewer engagement.
Green Bay Packers’ Financial Breakdown
The Packers’ revenue surge stemmed from multiple sources. Their national revenue increased by 7.5%, rising from $402.3 million to $432.6 million. Meanwhile, their local revenue experienced a noteworthy growth of 13.7%, increasing from $251.8 million to $286.4 million. Combining these, the team’s overall revenue grew by 9.9%, from $654.1 million to $719.1 million.
Profit and Expense Changes
Profits from operations for the Packers increased substantially by 39.3%, totaling $83.7 million for the 2025 fiscal year. This boost was complemented by a rise in overall expenses, which grew by 7%, reaching $635.4 million. The expense increase was attributed to customary cyclical costs, including player contract renewals, depreciation linked to stadium construction, and higher travel expenses for the team.
Net Income Decline
Despite operational profit growth, the Packers’ net income decreased by 12.5%, falling from $98.1 million in 2024 to $85.6 million in 2025. This decline was primarily due to a sharp decrease in non-operating income, which plummeted from $38 million to $1.9 million. This reduction reflects the limited additional income sources apart from the team’s core operations.
Transparency and Financial Reporting
The Packers are the only NFL team required to publicly disclose their annual financial statements, offering a level of transparency that surpasses other franchises. These financial updates are set to be formally presented during the team’s annual shareholder meeting scheduled at Lambeau Field on July 25.
Leadership and Future Outlook
Mark Murphy, the team’s President and CEO, announced his upcoming retirement this week at age 75. Throughout the fiscal year, Murphy expressed optimism about the NFL’s increasing popularity and revenue streams, largely driven by high-profile television broadcasting rights.
Event Impact and Revenue Drivers
The Packers hosted nine regular-season games and one preseason game during 2024, contributing favorably to local revenue streams. The team’s revenue growth also reflects broader NFL trends, with the league experiencing record national earnings largely fueled by lucrative TV deals, which have become a key revenue driver in recent years.
Financial Reserves and Exclusive Challenges
Unlike other NFL teams, the Packers are not benefiting from the option to sell 10% of their team’s value to private equity firms, an arrangement that provides additional financial flexibility to most franchises. Maintaining a strong corporate reserve fund remains vital for the team’s financial stability and operational independence.
Conclusion
The financial report highlights the Green Bay Packers’ robust growth and the NFL’s overall fiscal health. As the league continues to capitalize on television rights and fan engagement, individual teams like the Packers showcase resilience, even amidst changing economic conditions. The upcoming shareholder meeting is expected to further detail the team’s financial strategies and outlook for future seasons.
