UEFA’s Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) has fined four Premier League clubs for breaches of European financial regulations. Aston Villa, Chelsea, Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest are all reported to have been penalised for non-compliance with UEFA’s financial sustainability rules. Multiple outlets say the fines relate to breaches of the regulations assessed during the 2025/26 season or over recent monitoring periods linked to UEFA’s framework.
The Guardian reports that Newcastle are fined €6m in total, including penalties for breaching the football earnings rule (FER) and the squad cost rules (SCR). It also states that Aston Villa and Chelsea receive fines for overspending and that the penalties are tied to repeat breaches, noting that both clubs are penalised for the second consecutive year.
Other reports also describe fines imposed on Villa, Chelsea, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest following UEFA submissions and assessments. Channel NewsAsia and Yahoo Sports include the same clubs, and Sky News and Sky Sports describe the action as UEFA sanctions for financial sustainability regulation breaches. Inside World Football additionally provides further detail on fine amounts for some clubs, though not all outlets confirm the full breakdown.
