News Summary
The Green Bay Packers achieved record revenue of $719.1 million, marking a 9.9% increase from the previous year. This growth mirrors the NFL’s overall financial success, which totaled $13.8 billion nationally. The Packers are set to discuss these financial results with shareholders, while also navigating challenges such as declining net income and rising expenses. The annual meeting will take place at Lambeau Field, and the team’s reliance on corporate reserves becomes crucial for future stability, especially with an impending leadership transition.
Green Bay
The Green Bay Packers reported a record revenue of $719.1 million for the 2024 fiscal year, marking a significant increase of 9.9% from $654.1 million the previous year. This growth aligns with a broader trend within the National Football League (NFL), which generated an unprecedented $13.8 billion in national revenue during the same period.
Each of the 32 NFL teams, including the Packers, received $432.6 million in revenue for the 2024 fiscal year, reflecting a 7.5% increase from $402.3 million the previous year. Local revenue for the Packers also saw a robust growth of 13.7%, rising from $251.8 million to $286.4 million.
Operational Insights
Despite rising operational profits of $83.7 million, a 39.3% increase, the Packers’ net income experienced a decline of 12.5%, falling from $98.1 million to $85.6 million. This decrease in net income can be attributed to a significant drop in non-operating income, which plummeted from $38 million in 2024 to just $1.9 million in 2025.
The Packers’ expenses grew by 7%, totaling $635.4 million. Factors contributing to this rise included the cyclical nature of player contracts, depreciation from recent construction projects, and increased travel costs.
Annual Meeting and Future Considerations
The Packers are expected to present these financial updates to their shareholders at the annual meeting, scheduled for July 25 at Lambeau Field. As the only publicly owned team in the NFL, the Packers are mandated to disclose their financial statements annually, ensuring a level of transparency not typically seen in other franchises.
The current financial landscape comes as Mark Murphy, the Packers President and CEO, prepares to retire at the age of 75, marking the end of an era for the team. Murphy noted the impressive growth of the NFL’s popularity and revenue, which is largely fueled by lucrative television deals and the limited options for live viewing, enhancing the league’s fiscal success.
Game Attendance and Local Revenue
In 2024, the Packers hosted nine regular-season games along with one preseason game, contributing to their increasing local revenue. This influx from game-day operations, coupled with a rising fan base, played an essential role in financial expansion.
Corporate Reserves and Future Strategy
Without the opportunity to sell 10% of their team value to private equity funds, a strategy available to other teams, the Packers rely on their corporate reserve fund to navigate financial challenges. These reserves are crucial for the team’s long-term stability, particularly in the face of the fluctuations typical in professional sports financing.
Conclusion
The financial results showcased by the Green Bay Packers indicate a promising year for both the team and the NFL overall. As the league continues to thrive, the Packers remain positioned to harness future opportunities while managing the inherent challenges of operating a professional sports franchise.
