How much money do Premier League winners make? Premier League prize money by position and what each team wins in 2023/24
Manchester City are aiming for a historic fourth consecutive Premier League title, a feat that would bring significant financial rewards due to the Premier League's status as the world's richest football league. The league's lucrative broadcasting deals contribute to the financial success of its clubs, with eight of the top 20 richest clubs in the latest Deloitte Football Money League coming from the Premier League.
Premier League winners stand to make substantial earnings from prize money, with Manchester City earning a record £176.2 million ($220.7m/€204.8m) last season as champions. The exact amount Manchester City or Arsenal will claim this season remains to be calculated, as it depends on the league's television deals.
Prize money in the Premier League is derived from fixed figures related to the club's position, an equal share payment, and a commercial revenue payment from the league. There is also a variable facility fee payment, where clubs receive a sum for each time their matches are broadcast in the UK. Premier League teams in the title race tend to benefit significantly from these payments, with City topping the facility fees payment table for the 2022/23 season with £25.3m. Each appearance on UK television is worth £1.2m to the teams involved and complements the £31m equal share payment.
