The court was told Grealish was caught speeding by a mobile speed camera on Station Road, Wythall, while driving a Range Rover Sport on the morning of July 17 2023.
A charge of failing to give information to the police relating to the identification of the driver was withdrawn.
Jack Grealish's barrister, John Dye, said of his client: "Mr Grealish means no discourtesy by not attending.
"I am instructed to enter a guilty plea on his behalf in relation to speeding."
After confirming that the maximum penalty for the offence was £1,000, reduced to £666 after a guilty plea, Mr Dye told the court: "He can afford to pay that figure. I am asked to apologise on his behalf. It was a mistake."
