Arsenal’s progression to the semi-finals of the Champions League in midweek gave their finances another boost, and Swiss Ramble reports that the club have now earned well over £100m from this season’s competition.
Swiss Ramble confirms that Arsenal have made €18.6m in participation fees, €68.1m in prize money, and €37.0m in value pillar, putting the Gunners at €123.8m for the season so far (or £107.9m).

Of course, the clubs will earn even more than that in reality, as they also profit from ticket sales and sponsorship deals. It has been suggested that Arsenal will make over £6m on ticket sales for the semi-final second leg alone.
This will be the third season in a row that Arsenal break their club record for European income in a campaign (excluding matchday revenue), having done the same in the 2023/24 run to the quarter-finals and the 2024/25 run to the semi-finals.
The Champions League remains far ahead of the other European competitions, with Europa League semi-finalists Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest sitting at £24.5m and £20.9m respectively, and Europa Conference League semi-finalists Crystal Palace only at £11.5m.
