Here's how much the Bills (and each NFL team) made in national revenue in 2024-25

Profits continue to soar for the NFL, as each of its 32 teams, including the Buffalo Bills, received $432.6 million in national revenue for 2024-25.

The figure was revealed Wednesday when the publicly owned Green Bay Packers released financial data for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. The NFL doesn't release revenue-sharing numbers, but as a team owned by 539,029 stockholders, Green Bay must reveal its financial statement on an annual basis.

With $432.6 million distributed to each team, the league shared more than $13 billion in revenue from the previous fiscal year, an increase of 7.5%. In 2023-24, the NFL's national revenue topped $400 million per team (at $402.3 million) for the first time.

Since 2019, NFL shared revenue has risen from $8.78 billion to $13.84 billion. The Packers' local revenue − which includes ticket sales, local sponsorships and merchandise − increased from $251.8 million to $286.4 million.

Although access to the Bills' financial data is unavailable, Green Bay team president Mark Murphy told ESPN that national revenue accounts for approximately 60% of the Packers' total revenue.

The Bills' local revenue was impacted in 2024-25 by AFC teams playing eight regular-season home games, as opposed to the nine NFC teams hosted. The Bills had two preseason games at Highmark Stadium, but revenues are higher for regular-season games. They also hosted two playoff games, a wild-card win over the Denver Broncos and a divisional win over the Baltimore Ravens.

AFC teams will host nine regular-season games and one in the preseason in 2025-26. The Packers' local revenue rose 13.7% from 2023-24 to 2024-25, according to their financial data.

He hasn't really sucked at owning the Bills.
He's done well, I'd say, especially at keeping his hands off of it.
Now, the Sabres - whole other story...

You should also give Pegula credit for fucking the taxpayers of WNY in their collective asses by getting them to pay 75% of the new stadium and then Pegula only contributing the NFL owner rules required minimum 25% of a new stadium cost only through new PSLs, huge increases to the price of Club Seats, Corporate Suites and new Premium Seats so that Pegula will NOT have a dime come out of his own pocket.

What the fuck did you think I did for a living?

The Buffalo Bills are currently responsible for approximately 60% of the cost of their new stadium, with public funding covering the remaining 40%. Originally, the public share was estimated to be over 50%, but rising construction costs have shifted a larger portion of the financial burden to the Bills. The total cost of the stadium is now estimated to be over $2 billion.
  • Public Funding:
    New York State is contributing $600 million, and Erie County is contributing $250 million, totaling $850 million in public funds.

  • Bills' Contribution:
    The Bills are responsible for any costs exceeding the initial $1.54 billion, and are expected to contribute at least $1.25 billion. This includes a $690 million initial contribution plus any overruns.

  • Public vs. Private:
    The original agreement saw public funding accounting for over half of the initial $1.4 billion estimate, but the increased costs mean the Bills are now responsible for a larger share.

  • Additional Costs:
    The Bills also have a 30-year lease with a community benefits package, which includes $144 million to be spread out over the lease term.
