This season
9 points from 8 games; expected finish 12.1. Value in each end-of-season outcome, with FCV's simulated probability:
How the value is built
Revenue approach: forward revenue of £189m × adjusted multiple 3.08x = £581m.
Asset approach: realisable squad value, stadium (if owned) and training ground = £352m.
The two are blended with a weight set by division, then adjusted by the club's desirability premium of -6.4%, giving £530m if the club stays in the Premier League. The live value weights each season outcome by its probability. Full methodology.

Questions
How much is Bournemouth worth?
The FCV Index values Bournemouth at £494m as of 28 October 2026, with an indicative range of £420m–568m (data grade A). That ranks Bournemouth #16 in the Premier League and #35 of the 198 clubs in the index. Its FCV Desirability score is 52 out of 100 (#42 of the 92 English league clubs).
How much would it cost to buy Bournemouth?
Enterprise value is £494m. After net debt of £1.7m shown in the latest filed accounts, the indicative equity value (what a buyer would pay for the shares) is about £492m. Owner loans are often written off or restructured in a sale, so the final price depends on the debt agreed in a deal.
Who owns Bournemouth?
FCV records the owner as Black Knight (Bill Foley). Check the club's filings at Companies House or the relevant national registry for the current shareholding.
How is Bournemouth's value calculated?
FCV blends a revenue approach (forward revenue of £189m × an adjusted multiple of 3.08x) with a realisable-asset approach (squad, stadium and training ground, £352m), then weights the values if the club is promoted, stays or is relegated by probabilities from a 20,000-run season simulation.
How desirable is Bournemouth to a buyer?
Bournemouth scores 52 out of 100 on the FCV Desirability Index, #42 of the 92 English league clubs (between #38 and #49 under different weightings). That is below the Premier League median of 72, which gives a discount of 6.4% on the club's value.
How often is the valuation updated?
Live values are recalculated after every round of matches, and the financial inputs are updated when clubs file new accounts.
