Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Significant events
- “The 2024/25 campaign marked Millwall's eighth consecutive season in the Sky Bet Championship - the second tier of English football.”
- “The start of the season was overshadowed by the tragic and unexpected passing of First Team goalkeeper Matija Sarkic, who died at the age of 26 on June 15th, 2025. In his memory, the club retired his number 20 shirt, unveiled a mural at The Den, and introduced the Matija Sarkic Award for Save of the Season.”
- “The 2024/25 season was a transitional period both on and off the pitch. The Lions finished 8th in the Championship with 66 points - a five-point improvement on the previous season.”
- “Mark Fairbrother returned as Managing Director, while Steve Gallen joined as Director of Football. Neil Harris departed by mutual consent in December 2024, ending his second spell in charge as manager. Alex Neil was appointed as Head Coach.”
- “In January 2025, academy graduate Romain Esse completed a club-record transfer to Crystal Palace. The company achieved a record high Profit on Player Trading, £21.6m profit, namely from the sale of Romaine Esse and Zian Flemming in the season.”
- “In January 2025 the club purchased its first team and under 21s training facility at Calmont Road. With the previous lease due to expire in 2026, the freehold purchase of the site provides short and mid-term certainty of tenure.”
