#4 FC Bayern Munich - €587.8m
Bayern Munich are synonymous with success, and the Bundesliga giants have now made it 10 consecutive years in the Top 5 of the DFML. However, of all the Top 6 clubs, Bayern are one of only two clubs to post a revenue decrease in 2017, which points to the challenges facing German clubs.
The Bavarians have the highest commercial revenue of any club globally (€343.3m), thanks in part to long-standing agreements - thus there's no increase from 2016. Matchday revenue fell €4m, while broadcast revenue was mostly the same.
In total, Bayern Munich saw a minor decrease of 0.7% (€4.2m) in revenue. Despite Bayern's commercial team succeeding so well, the lack of comparable broadcast revenue will hurt the German giants in the long run, which might see them plummet down the DFML in the coming decade.
2016 revenue: €592m
2017 revenue: €587.8m
Shirt Sponsor: Deutsche Telecom
Kit Supplier: adidas
Average Match Attendance: 75,024
