News Summary
The Green Bay Packers have announced record revenue of $719.1 million for the recent fiscal year, reflecting a 9.9% increase from the previous year. This financial growth is set against the backdrop of the NFL’s overall revenue surge to $13.8 billion.

The Packers’ unique public ownership structure provides transparency in financial reporting, with further details to be shared at an upcoming shareholder meeting.
Green Bay, WI – The Green Bay Packers have reported a record revenue of $719.1 million for the fiscal year 2025, marking a significant increase from their previous earnings. This represents a 9.9% rise from $654.1 million in 2024, showcasing the team’s robust financial health amid the NFL’s expanding revenue landscape.
The NFL, overall, achieved a record national revenue of $13.8 billion in the last fiscal year, with each of the 32 teams receiving $432.6 million in revenue for 2024. The Packers, as the only publicly owned team in the league, are required to disclose their financial statements annually, providing a more transparent view of their operations compared to other franchises.
While the Packers celebrated a 39.3% increase in profits from operations, totaling $83.7 million, their net income experienced a decline of 12.5%, falling from $98.1 million in 2024 to $85.6 million. This drop was primarily attributed to a significant decrease in non-operating income, which plummeted from $38 million the previous year to $1.9 million in 2025.
Local revenue for the Packers saw a notable growth of 13.7%, increasing from $251.8 million to $286.4 million. The team benefited from hosting nine regular-season games and one preseason game in 2024, contributing significantly to this local revenue boost. However, overall expenses also rose by 7%, amounting to $635.4 million, driven by player contract cycles, depreciation from facility construction, and higher travel costs.
The financial updates come at a pivotal time as Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy announced his retirement at the age of 75. Murphy expressed his astonishment at the NFL’s growing appeal and the remarkable revenue generated largely from lucrative television deals.
The Packers have a unique financial situation due to their public ownership structure, which prevents them from selling a portion of their team value to private equity funds, a common strategy for other NFL teams seeking to enhance liquidity. Consequently, the Packers maintain a corporate reserve fund essential for their operational stability.
These financial reports will be formally presented to shareholders during the annual meeting scheduled at Lambeau Field on July 25, providing an opportunity for owners to delve deeper into the team’s financial strategies and future outlook.
The NFL continues to thrive on its limited live viewing options, effectively enhancing the league’s financial success in an era marked by increasing demand for professional football. The Packers’ impressive fiscal results reaffirm their position as a competitive franchise, reflective of broader trends in the sports entertainment industry.
