Arsenal have been crowned Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years after Manchester City drew 1-1 at Bournemouth on Tuesday night, leaving the Gunners uncatchable on 82 points. So how much money do Arsenal receive for winning the league? Express Sport brings you all the details...
Guaranteed share:Arsenal are guaranteed to pocket £96.9million. That is an identical baseline payment that is handed out to all 20 clubs. This base distribution consists of approximately £29.8m from domestic TV rights, £59.2m from international broadcast rights, and a central commercial payment of £7.9m.
Top spot payment: By winning the Premier League title, Arsenal will secure the maximum merit payment allocated for first place. According to league figures, finishing as champions will guarantee the club £53.1m in basic merit revenue, which scales down by millions for lower positions.
TV fees: Clubs earn money each time their matches are broadcast live domestically. As title favourites, Arsenal have been heavily televised, putting them on track to match or exceed the £24.9m to £27.4m typically paid to the league's most frequently broadcasted teams.
Last season's total:Liverpool received £174.9m for winning the league last season, while Arsenal earned £171.5m as runners-up. Winning the title this year suggests Arsenal will comfortably eclipse both of those previous figures.
Estimated total: Combining the £96.9m equal central share, the £53.1m champions merit bonus, and an estimated £26m to £28m in live TV facility fees pushes Arsenal's projected total league payout to between £176m and £178m.
External bonuses: This projected £176m-£178m total only accounts for revenue distributed directly by the Premier League. Arsenal's final financial haul will be even larger once lucrative external add-ons, such as championship bonuses from sponsors like Adidas and Emirates, are officially factored in.
