Spanish La Liga Overview for 2024/25
The 2024/25 La Liga season, currently sponsored by Santander, kicked off with Real Madrid as the defending champions after securing the title in the 2023/24 season. Last season, Atlético Madrid were not the winners (as incorrectly stated in the original text); Real Madrid clinched the title ahead of Barcelona. This season, as of February 23, 2025, the race remains tight, with clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atlético Madrid vying for the top spot.
Since the 2021/22 season, La Liga has operated under a collective TV rights deal, ensuring a more balanced distribution of revenue compared to the previous individual negotiation model. This shift continues to shape the financial landscape for the 2024/25 season.
La Liga TV Rights Money Distribution to Clubs
Under the current system, La Liga pools domestic and overseas TV revenue, distributing it collectively. The domestic TV rights, secured by Telefonica and Movistar, are part of a three-year deal worth €1.89 billion (running from 2021/22 to 2023/24), supplemented by MediaPro’s €750 million commitment. While this deal technically ended in 2024, La Liga has likely renegotiated or extended similar terms for the 2024/25 season, though exact figures are not yet public. Overseas TV rights have also grown, boosting the overall pot.
For 2024/25, the total revenue is projected to remain around €2.65 billion over three years, with an annual distribution of approximately €0.85 billion to €1 billion per season, depending on final negotiations and market performance.
La Liga Prize Fund 2024/25 Breakdown
The prize money distribution model remains consistent:
- 10% goes to La Liga 2 clubs.
- 90% is allocated to the 20 La Liga clubs based on the following:
- Equal Share (50%): Distributed equally among all 20 clubs.
- Merit Money (25%): Based on league positions over the last five years, with more weight on recent seasons.
- Resource Generation (25%): Tied to club revenue streams like ticket sales, memberships, and attendance.
For 2024/25, each club is guaranteed at least €50 million from the equal-share portion, with additional earnings based on merit and resources.
La Liga Prize Money Pool for 2024/25 Season
The total prize pool for the 2024/25 season is estimated at €1 billion (£0.7 billion), consistent with recent years. This figure may adjust slightly once final TV revenue and sponsorship deals are confirmed. Here’s how it breaks down:
- Equal Share: €500 million (€50 million per club).
- Merit Money: €250 million (variable by position).
- Resource Money: €250 million (variable by club revenue metrics).

Comparison with Previous Seasons
- 2023/24 Season: Real Madrid earned €158 million as champions, Barcelona €154 million, and bottom club Granada €48.5 million.
- 2019/20 Season: Atlético Madrid topped earnings at €150 million, with bottom club Eibar at €62 million.
The collective deal has narrowed the gap between top and bottom clubs. Previously, Real Madrid and Barcelona could earn up to €140 million each via individual deals, while smaller clubs like Las Palmas made as little as €18 million. Now, even relegated teams are guaranteed around €50 million, with top clubs still exceeding €150 million due to merit and resource factors.
Final Thoughts
The 2024/25 La Liga prize money reflects a balanced yet competitive financial structure. While exact figures will be confirmed post-season, the current model ensures all clubs benefit from the lucrative TV deals, with top performers like Real Madrid and Barcelona still reaping the largest rewards.
