Inter Miami’s revenue has surged this year driven by some key factors. Ticket sales have been a major contributor, with the team emerging as a crowd favorite at home and during away matches. The team’s revenue stream has also been boosted by established corporate partnerships, which were initiated years ago.

Another strategic move includes signing sponsorships with escalation clauses tied to the caliber of players, ensuring increased revenue potential. The Miami side is now brushing shoulders with Newcastle United and Aston Villa in the aspect of revenue.
