According to the report compiled by the professional and financial services company, the overall growth was primarily driven by the ‘big five’ European football leagues – Premier League, LaLiga, Lega Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1, which witnessed the combined revenues increase by 9% during the 2016-17 season. New broadcast arrangements in England, Spain and France have made a considerable impact. Growth was not restricted to the Big Five as the other leagues also registered an increase in their revenues.
