Green Bay Reports Record Revenue of $719.1 Million Amid NFL’s Growing Financial Success

Green Bay, Wisconsin — The Green Bay Packers, the only NFL team that is publicly owned, announced a significant increase in revenue for the fiscal year 2025, reaching a total of $719.1 million. This marks a notable rise from their previous year’s revenue of $654.1 million and underscores the NFL’s overall financial strength during this period.

Record National Revenue and Distribution

The NFL as a whole generated a record $13.8 billion in national revenue during the same fiscal year, reflecting the league’s continued growth. Each franchise received an average of $432.6 million in revenue, a figure that points to the league’s broad and lucrative media and commercial deals. This distribution showcases a substantial increase in league-wide income, reinforcing the NFL’s position as one of the most profitable professional sports leagues globally.

Financial Details Specific to the Green Bay Packers

Revenue Increase: The Packers’ total revenue grew by 9.9%, from $654.1 million to $719.1 million.
Operational Profits: Profits from operations surged by 39.3%, totaling $83.7 million for the fiscal year 2025.
National Revenue: The team’s national revenue increased 7.5%, from $402.3 million in 2024 to $432.6 million.
Local Revenue: Local income, derived from ticket sales, sponsorships, and events at Lambeau Field, grew by 13.7%, rising from $251.8 million to $286.4 million.
Event Hosting: The Packers hosted nine regular-season games and one preseason game in 2024, which contributed notably to their local revenue increase.

Expenses and Income Changes

The Packers’ total expenses saw an increase of 7%, reaching $635.4 million. This rise was primarily related to the cyclical nature of player contracts, depreciation costs associated with new infrastructure, and higher travel expenses. Despite this rise in operational costs, the team experienced a growth in profits from operations, demonstrating improved overall financial health.

However, the team’s net income experienced a decline of 12.5%. It decreased from $98.1 million in 2024 to $85.6 million in 2025. This downturn was mainly due to a significant drop in non-operating income, which fell sharply from $38 million in 2024 to just $1.9 million in 2025 — a change that heavily impacted the overall net income figures.

Transparency and Future Outlook

The Packers are required by league regulations to disclose their financial statements annually, providing transparency that is more extensive than most other NFL teams. These details will be formally presented during the team’s upcoming annual shareholder meeting scheduled for July 25 at Lambeau Field.

Green Bay President and CEO Mark Murphy recently announced his retirement, effective this week, at age 75. Murphy acknowledged the NFL’s growing popularity and revenue generation, mostly driven by lucrative television deals and limited live-viewing options, highlighting the league’s seismic shifts in media consumption and monetization.

Unique Financial Position of the Packers

As the only NFL team that is publicly owned, the Packers differ from most franchises, especially regarding financial flexibility. They are required to reveal their financial data annually, promoting transparency. Unlike other teams benefiting from the option to sell up to 10% of their team value to private equity, the Packers rely heavily on their corporate reserve fund to sustain operations, which remains vital given their financial structure.

The upcoming financial report and shareholder meeting will provide further insights into the team’s financial performance and strategic planning amid the NFL’s ongoing evolution and revenue growth.
