The global top 20 is entirely populated by European clubs, with English clubs occupying eight of the positions, Italian clubs five positions, plus two clubs from each of Germany, Scotland and Spain and one club from France.

UK clubs differentiate themselves through the revenue-earning capability of their stadium facilities. A testament to the Old Firm's utilisation of their stadium facilities, as well as their brand strength, is that the city of Glasgow has as many representatives in the Money League as Spain and Germany and more than France.
