Where Portsmouth sit in 2025/26 Championship net spend table
This Championship net spend table for the 2025/26 season shows where Portsmouth finished among their rivals
The 2025/26 Championship season was quite the surprise in many ways, and in some senses this net spend table shows why, but also makes a few club achievements all the more impressive.
Portsmouth had a season of mediocrity that was at least better than a relegation battle, but the club wants much more heading into the 2026/27 campaign.
Pompey were one of the lowest spenders in the Championship, shelling out only £4.1m over two transfer windows. But because the club only brought in £250K, their net spend was still £3.85m, leaving them with the 8th highest net spend.
Ipswich and Southampton were among the highest spenders as they spent over £50m each, but huge incoming money for both meant they actually finished 22nd and 24th respectively in this net spend table.
With all of this in mind, let's take a look below at this Championship net spend table brought to us by Stake.
