The Hong Kong Jockey Club\u2019s (HKJC) revenue in 2025 outstripped global sporting giants including the English Premier League (EPL) and Formula 1, according to a new report.<\/p>\n
In a year when the world\u2019s biggest sporting organisations generated a record US$174 billion collectively, HKJC\u2019s US$6.4 billion (HK$50 billion) ranked third globally behind the NFL\u2019s US$14.9 billion and the NBA\u2019s US$8.1 billion.<\/p>\n
The top 10 rights holders, including the EPL in fourth on US$5.3 billion and F1 in seventh on US$3.9 billion, accounted for 34 per cent of industry revenue in 2025, up from 30 per cent in 2015, underscoring increasing market concentration.<\/p>\n
Compiled by international sports and entertainment marketing firm Two Circles, using publicly available data, the report released last month highlighted an industry it said had expanded at almost \u201ctwice the rate of the broader global economy\u201d since 2015.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe traditional revenue pillars \u2013 event-day, sponsorship, and media \u2013 still sit at the core of sports commerciality, but they no longer capture the full picture,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n
The positions of the HKJC and US racing group Churchill Downs, which ranked eighth with US$2.9 billion, showed how \u201cthese organisations have built meaningful exposure to betting and gaming revenues into their models in a way that has seen their gross revenues materially outpace the market over the past 10 years\u201d, the report said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Hong Kong Jockey Club\u2019s (HKJC) revenue in 2025 outstripped global sporting giants including the English Premier League…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":665048,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[573],"tags":[64,63,321192,1234,9004,7775,817,31960,813,816,72355,10981,590,593,22455,85,321190,321191,1055],"class_list":["post-665047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-churchill-downs","tag-dallas-cowboys","tag-english-premier-league","tag-f","tag-f1","tag-formula","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-hong-kong-jockey-club","tag-la-liga","tag-nba","tag-nfl","tag-real-madrid","tag-sports","tag-sports-ip-revenue-league","tag-two-circles","tag-united-states"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=665047"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665047\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/665048"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=665047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=665047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=665047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
