Stays£319m · 52%
Relegated£103m · 48%

How the value is built

Revenue approach: forward revenue of £164m × adjusted multiple 2.35x = £384m.

Asset approach: realisable squad value, stadium (if owned) and training ground = £126m.

The two are blended with a weight set by division, then adjusted by the club's desirability premium of -7.6%, giving £319m if the club stays in the Premier League. The live value weights each season outcome by its probability. Full methodology.

Questions

How much is Hull City worth?

The FCV Index values Hull City at £214m as of 28 October 2026, with an indicative range of £182m–247m (data grade A). That ranks Hull City #19 in the Premier League and #65 of the 198 clubs in the index. Its FCV Desirability score is 48 out of 100 (#50 of the 92 English league clubs).

How much would it cost to buy Hull City?

Enterprise value is £214m. After net debt of £76.0m shown in the latest filed accounts, the indicative equity value (what a buyer would pay for the shares) is about £138m. 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 Hull City?

FCV records the owner as Acun Ilicali. Check the club's filings at Companies House or the relevant national registry for the current shareholding.

How is Hull City's value calculated?

FCV blends a revenue approach (forward revenue of £164m × an adjusted multiple of 2.35x) with a realisable-asset approach (squad, stadium and training ground, £126m), 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 Hull City to a buyer?

Hull City scores 48 out of 100 on the FCV Desirability Index, #50 of the 92 English league clubs (between #43 and #55 under different weightings). That is below the Premier League median of 72, which gives a discount of 7.6% on the club's value.
