Detailed financial accounts for 2024-25, the most recent season available, reveal a widening gap between the Women's Super League's wealthiest clubs and the rest of the division. Arsenal and Chelsea are the only clubs with wage bills exceeding £10m, and their combined revenue now surpasses that of the rest of the league put together, underlining how commercial and broadcasting growth is concentrating at the top while smaller clubs continue to rely on owner backing to survive.

Arsenal reported turnover of £21.54m and posted a modest profit of £22,000, boosted by strong matchday income at the Emirates and Champions League broadcast money, though the club remains dependent on parent company KSE UK Inc for support. Chelsea's turnover also hit £21.31m, but they recorded a loss of £17.10m, largely due to a £12.08m purchase of the Kingsmeadow stadium, a move linked to helping the men's team meet Profitability and Sustainability Rules. Brighton, by contrast, posted a £7.29m loss on turnover of just £1.34m, relying on chair Tony Bloom's continued financial backing while pursuing an £80m new stadium, and Everton's turnover fell slightly to £2.93m amid a widening loss.
