Premier League finance, in plain English
Can your club still spend?
A 2026/27 forecast estimate of how close every Premier League club is to a squad-cost points deduction, and who is facing a levy on overspend. Lower percentages mean more room to spend.
Points-deduction threshold
115% of football income
Crossing 115% means a fixed 6-point deduction, plus 1 more point for every £6.5m spent over the line.
Levy thresholdi
85% of football income
Spending between 85% and 115% brings a financial levy on the overspend — a fine, not a points deduction.
