Premier League confirms Man City guilty of 114 FFP breaches

The Premier League has officially confirmed that Manchester City have been found guilty of 114 breaches of Financial Fair Play regulations, concluding a long‑running investigation into the club’s financial conduct. In a statement, the league said an independent commission determined that City artificially inflated revenue and understated costs between the 2009‑10 and 2017‑18 seasons, creating a financial impact exceeding £900 million.

The commission also upheld three of four charges related to the club’s failure to cooperate with investigators. Sanctions will be decided in a separate hearing, with potential penalties ranging from fines to competitive measures.

The announcement comes days after initial reports from The Athletic, now formally ratified by the league. Manchester City retain the right to appeal, with a deadline set for 2 October 2026. The case marks one of the most significant regulatory actions in Premier League history, with major consequences still to be determined.
