The Saskatchewan Roughriders lost $157,005 last season, one in which the franchise captured its fifth Grey Cup championship.<\/p>\n
The deficit followed a profitable 2024-25 season in which the franchise finished $2.1 million in the black. The Roughriders released the results of their annual financial report Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Two factors contributed to last season’s financial loss: extra expenses that came with winning the Grey Cup, as well as additional game-day costs and fan vouchers caused by the postponement of a July 11 regular-season game due to wildfire smoke.<\/p>\n
According to the community-owned club’s financial report, gross revenues were at $44.7 million, up from $40.8 million the year before, while gate receipts increased to $14.5 million. The Earnings Before Interest, Depreciation and Amortization (EBIDA) remained strong at $2.3 million while the stabilization fund grew to over $11.3 million.<\/p>\n
Saskatchewan’s expenses were $45.1 million from $38.7 million the year before, an increase of 16.5 per cent. Thirty-four per cent of expenses went to football operations, with 14 per cent being allocated to merchandise.<\/p>\n
Still, the Riders’ drive to a championship boosted demand for merchandise, resulting in revenues of $9.1 million, the highest total in over a decade.<\/p>\n
However, following their Grey Cup victory, the Riders also visited 38 communities around the province to share the championship with their fans over two months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Saskatchewan Roughriders lost $157,005 last season, one in which the franchise captured its fifth Grey Cup championship.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":290404,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-758613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/758613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=758613"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/758613\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/290404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=758613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=758613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=758613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
