SK Rapid Vienna generated revenue of more than 60 million euros again in the 2025/26 financial year. Despite revenues of 61.598 million euros, there is a loss of 5.823 million euros at the bottom line. This is according to the annual report published by the Viennese Bundesliga club on Wednesday, October 28, 2026.

This means that the Hütteldorfers were able to exceed the 60 million euro revenue mark for the second consecutive time, but the economic result was negative.

According to the published annual report, Rapid achieved total revenues of 61.598 million euros in the 2025/26 financial year. At the same time, the club had to record a loss of 5.823 million euros.

This shows a significant difference between the club’s revenues and its actual annual result. Revenue includes the generated earnings, while the annual result also takes into account the incurred expenses. Therefore, high revenue does not automatically mean that a football club also makes a profit.

According to the club, the economic level of the 2024/25 financial year was not reached. Rapid cites, among other things, two fewer international home games than in the previous season as reasons. Partial closures of individual stadium sectors at several Bundesliga matches also affected economic development.

Both factors limited the opportunities to generate revenue around home games.

Rapid also points to increased sporting investments. The club invested more funds in the sporting sector compared to previous years. However, the associated expectations were not met.

„Overall, the higher sporting investments compared to previous years in the 2025/26 season ultimately did not reflect the sporting and economic success that was the basis of the planning (…),“ the club said in a statement.

This makes Rapid clear that the economic planning was also dependent on certain sporting results, which ultimately were not achieved to the expected extent.

Despite the negative annual result, the club still has positive equity. At the end of the 2025/26 season, this was just over 15.8 million euros according to the annual report.

Equity is a balance sheet metric that results from the difference between assets and liabilities. It is not equivalent to the freely available money in a bank account.

The loss of around 5.8 million euros therefore does not automatically mean that Rapid has accumulated outstanding bills or debts to this extent.

While the annual report highlights the economic results of the past season, the current sporting situation presents itself differently. At the time of the publication of the annual report, Rapid leads the table of the Austrian Football Bundesliga according to APA. The club thus enters the further 2026/27 season as the league leader.

Whether the current sporting development will also have a positive impact on the economic results cannot yet be estimated.

Decisive will be, among other things, the further sporting results, the income from home games, and the development of expenses.
