See the money each club will earn in the Premier League.
As the Premier League season approaches its thrilling climax, the race for the title and the battle to avoid relegation intensify, with substantial prize money up for grabs for each participating club.
Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool are currently vying for the prestigious Premier League title. In the previous season, Manchester City, the reigning champions, set a record by earning £176.2 million for their triumph.
This significant sum stems from the distribution of funds generated by the Premier League’s domestic and international television rights agreements.
Each of the 20 Premier League clubs receives an allocation based on several factors, including equal share payments, merit payments linked to final league standings, fixed commercial revenue payments, and variable facility fees awarded for matches broadcast live in the UK.
At the end of the season, the Premier League distributes financial rewards to all participating clubs, providing vital support for future transfers and club development initiatives.
While the exact figures for the 2023/24 season are yet to be confirmed, merit payments are typically distributed on a sliding scale, with the champions receiving the highest allocation and the bottom-placed team receiving the lowest.
In the 2022/23 season, the Premier League champions were estimated to have received around £44 million solely from the league, with additional sponsorship bonuses, TV revenue, and other bonuses pushing the total figure to nearly £150 million.
Although the financial disparity between each league position is relatively small on average (£2.5 million), the overall impact is significant, particularly in relation to European qualification and relegation.
