How much should each team expect to be paid this season?

Arsenal missed out on the Premier League title on the final day but should at least match Manchester City’s prize money for the campaign.

Last season, Premier League clubs received a total of £2.78 billion for the campaign, which consists of six payments through the division’s “central revenue system”, which the Premier League says “ensures the most equitable distribution of funds from any major European league. ‘.

the city of Manchester were paid a record £176.2m as the champions who had the most games televised live in Britain, while Southampton received £103.6m for their efforts to finish last.

Some of these payments are fixed. All 20 clubs received £79.2m in an equal share distributed on the basis of domestic (£31.2m) and international (£48m) broadcast deals – those rights deals TV is profitable for a reason – as well as £9.4m each from the powerhouse. commercial income streams.

The rest is variable, depending on where clubs finish and how often their games are selected for broadcast.

How much is each place worth in the Premier League?

Premier League merit payments are distributed on a sliding scale from 1 to 20, made up of the combined earnings from domestic and international broadcast deals.

For the 2022/23 season, the difference in prize money was around £3.1 million per position. Southampton received £3.1m for finishing bottom, while champions Manchester City received £62.1m. Or a Ruben Dias with a change.

It can be expected to rise slightly with inflation, but provides a rough guide to what clubs should expect to earn this season.

Manchester City – £62.1 million

Arsenal – £59m

Liverpool – £55.9 million

Aston Villa – £52.8 million

Tottenham – £49.7 million

Chelsea – £46.6

Newcastle – £43.5m

Manchester United – £40.4 million

West Ham – £37.3m

Crystal Palace – £34.2 million

Brighton – £31.1 million

Brentford – £15.5m

What are the facility fees?

The only other part of the prize money that is not fixed and divided equally are the facility fees, which are based on the number of times each club has been selected for television.

In 2022/23, Manchester City had 29 matches televised live in the UK, for which they received £25.3m in facility fees. Arsenal and Liverpool played 28 games and were paid £24.5 million.

Bournemouth were broadcast on the fewest occasions and received £10.2 million in installation fees for the 11 matches televised live in the UK.

This can lead to discrepancies in these variable payments – Bournemouth’s prize money for finishing 15th last season was £117.5m, less than 17th-placed Everton received (£120.5m) as the Toffees were chosen for live TV games twice as often.

8th-placed Tottenham (£151.9m) were paid more than Aston Villa (£148.3m) and Brighton (£149.7m), despite finishing below both.

On that basis, Arsenal will earn the most of any club from facility fees this season, with Burnley the worst.
