Premier League Owners 2025–26: Full List of Every Club and Owner

15th Jan 2026
Premier League Owners 2025–26: Full List of Every Club and Owner Premier League clubs are no longer defined solely by results on the pitch. Ownership now shapes everything from stadium investment and transfer policy to long-term governance and regulatory posture. This guide provides a clear, season-specific reference to the individuals and organisations that control each of the 20 clubs currently competing in the Premier League. It is maintained as a working ownership record rather than a ranking or opinion piece. How Ownership Is Defined (Methodology) For clarity and consistency, ownership in this article refers to: The individual or entity exercising primary voting, financial, or operational control of a Premier League club for the current season. Where clubs have multiple shareholders: controlling owners are listed first significant minority partners are noted passive or symbolic shareholdings are excluded Net worth figures are not assigned at club level to avoid speculation and constant revision. Premier League Club Owners (2025–26 Season) Controlling owners listed first; key individuals named for clarity Club Controlling Owner / Key Individuals Arsenal Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (Stan Kroenke) Aston Villa V Sports (Wes Edens, Nassef Sawiris) Bournemouth Black Knight Football Club (Bill Foley) Brentford Matthew Benham Brighton & Hove Albion Tony Bloom Burnley ALK Capital (Alan Pace) Chelsea BlueCo (Todd Boehly, Behdad Eghbali, José E. Feliciano) Crystal Palace Steve Parish (chairman), Josh Harris, David Blitzer, Woody Johnson Everton The Friedkin Group (Dan Friedkin) Fulham Shahid Khan Leeds United 49ers Enterprises (Jed York, Denise DeBartolo York) Liverpool Fenway Sports Group (John W.

Sovereign wealth participationNewcastle United’s ownership by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund represents the most capital-intensive ownership model in the league. Founder-led clubsBrentford, Brighton, and Fulham remain closely tied to owner-operators with long personal involvement rather than fund-driven turnover. Multi-club strategiesGroups such as City Football Group and BlueCo operate football portfolios rather than standalone clubs.toggle Which Premier League Owners Are the Wealthiest? Ownership scale does not always translate into spending power, but based on publicly reported estimates, the most capital-rich ownership groups in the league include: Public Investment Fund (Newcastle United) Sheikh Mansour / City Football Group (Manchester City) Stan Kroenke (Arsenal) Jim Ratcliffe (Manchester United, minority) Shahid Khan (Fulham)
