TV rights: Inter top with €81.9m, Napoli second despite title | OneFootball

The scudetto has ended up in Naples, but the team that won the economic challenge related to television rights is Inter. This is what emerges from the official distribution of TV proceeds related to the 2024/25 Serie A season, published in recent hours. The Nerazzurri company has secured first place in terms of revenue, bringing home 81.9 million euros, clearly surpassing the Italian champions, who are stuck at 67.8 million. A distance of over 14 million that can be explained by the strength of the Milanese club in terms of history, stadium presence, and television audience, factors that are crucial in the division of resources.

TV rights, Inter in command: 81.9 million euros collected, Napoli second despite the scudetto

What affected this distribution, as highlighted by gazzetta.it, was not only the performance in the last championship, but also a series of parameters that take into account the sports performance over the last five years, social roots - calculated based on paying spectators, listening data, and youth employment - and the fixed component equal for all. This is the formula established by the Melandri law, which divides the total revenue into three parts: 50% is shared equally among the 20 clubs, 28% based on sports results (ranking, history, and five-year ranking), and 22% according to criteria of public involvement.

The total distributed to the teams was equal to 898 million euros, down from the 1 billion and 72 million of the previous year. A significant reduction related to the new structure of commercialization of rights, the different management of archive materials, and the decrease in the value recognized by paid television platforms. Behind Inter and Napoli, Juventus ranks third with 67.7 million, followed at a very short distance by Milan (67.4) and Roma (61.2). Lazio, Atalanta, and Fiorentina follow in the second group, while the least followed teams - such as Monza and Venezia - close the ranking with revenues of less than 26 million. Numbers that confirm how economic power in Italian football continues to reflect not only sports results, but also the ability to attract the public and generate interest, both on and off the field.
