As I sat in the stands at the Etihad Stadium, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride and admiration for Manchester City, the Premier League’s most valuable football club brand. According to Brand Finance, the club’s brand value has seen a significant increase of 7% to £1.4 billion, making it the top dog in the Premier League.

This impressive feat can be attributed to the club’s consistent on-pitch success, which has driven record commercial and matchday revenues. Who can forget their thrilling 2023 season, where they won the Premier League, FA Cup, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup titles? And let’s not forget their record fourth consecutive year of winning the Premier League in 2024.
Manchester City’s Brand Strength Index (BSI) score has also improved considerably to 92.8/100, earning an AAA+ rating, the highest rating awarded by Brand Finance. This is a testament to the club’s ambition, exciting and entertaining football, and being well run and managed off the pitch, all of which are underscored by Pep Guardiola’s leadership style.
‘As well as Manchester City retaining its position as the Premier League’s most valuable football club brand, the club has also seen an increase in its overall brand value, demonstrating the ongoing and successful delivery of a multi-decade strategy, which has led to sustained growth over several years.’ - Roel de Vries, Chief Operating Officer at City Football Group
