York City Were Still in the National League When These Accounts Were Filed. A Year Later They Broke the Division's Points Record
A quiet, profitable season outside the Football League was the calm before one of non-league football's great modern seasons.
In the 2024-25 season covered by these accounts, York City competed in the National League, a solid campaign that laid the groundwork for the club's return to the Football League, though promotion itself was still a year away at this point.
The accounts don't disclose a turnover figure for the period, but a pre-tax profit of around £0.5m is a healthy result for a National League club, and net assets of around £3m leave York in a strong underlying financial position under owners Matt and Julie-Anne Uggla.
With around 68 employees, York's operation was already run at a scale befitting a club with genuine promotion ambitions, well resourced relative to most of the National League even before results caught up with that ambition.
That financial platform set York up perfectly for what followed: a club-record 108 points and 114 goals the following season, winning the National League title outright and securing promotion back to League Two after a decade away.
This filing captures York before the headlines, a well-run club quietly building the foundations for one of the most dominant non-league seasons in recent memory.
York City won the National League title in 2025-26 with a club-record 108 points, securing promotion to League Two for the 2026-27 season, their first campaign back in the Football League since 2015-16.
York's solid, profitable season in the National League was the platform for a record-breaking promotion campaign the very next year.
