The league has published the player budgets for all 17 teams as the 2026-27 season begins.

The Helsinki teams are entering the season with significant investments, as both the top-ranked HIFK (€4 million) and the returning Jokerit (€3.7 million) are among the top three.

After a couple of disappointing seasons, Kärpät, aiming to return to the top, has also spent money in preparation for the upcoming super season, totaling €3.9 million.

At the bottom of the list are Jukurit, operating with a clearly smaller budget (€1.8 million), and SaiPa, a medalist from the last two seasons, whose budget is only in 12th place in the league.
