Newcastle United to bank millions more after under the radar Premier League meeting development

Newcastle United is set to receive significant additional revenue from international TV rights in the coming years. During a Premier League meeting on Friday where shareholders voted on APT rule changes, clubs learned that overall competition revenue will increase by 17%. The total broadcast and commercial income will grow from £10.5bn to £12.25bn between 2025 and 2028.

International broadcast deals will generate £6.5bn, marking nearly a 25% increase from the previous three-year period. Clubs have approved a major TV deal covering Southeast Asia and the Pacific regions. Newcastle United could be one of the biggest beneficiaries of this increase if they maintain their competitive position since half of the overseas rights money is distributed based on league position.

The club earned £72.2m from international broadcasters after finishing fourth in 2023 with only Manchester City Arsenal and Manchester United earning more. Their Champions League participation has boosted their exposure particularly in the US where three of their matches were among the most watched fixtures on Paramount including both games against AC Milan and the home victory over PSG.

Newcastle has seen their global broadcast figures rise by 40% compared to the previous season. The team has made strategic visits to Japan the US Saudi Arabia and Australia over the past 16 months to expand their international following. The clubs chief commercial officer Peter Silverstone recently emphasized their focus on global growth.

Silverstone highlighted the importance of projecting everything globally including Eddie Howes team playing style and the atmosphere at St James Park which is consistently rated as the best in the Premier League. He noted that fans worldwide are increasingly drawn to this experience.

This news comes as Newcastle continues to build their international presence and commercial success. The increase in TV rights revenue represents a significant opportunity for the club to strengthen their financial position and competitiveness in the Premier League. The growing global audience and increased broadcast revenue reflect the clubs rising profile in international football and their successful on-field performance.

The developments from the Premier League meeting suggest a bright financial future for Newcastle United as they continue to establish themselves among the leagues top teams. The additional revenue from international broadcast rights could play a crucial role in the clubs ongoing development and their ability to compete at the highest level both domestically and in European competitions.
