The Premier League season has drawn to a close, with all 20 clubs poised to receive their annual prize money payout. Last term, the clubs shared £2.84billion from the league and received six payments from their 'central revenue system'.
The league insists that this "ensures the most equitable distribution of funds of any major European league" and guarantees each club will pocket over £100m. Liverpool are set to rake in the highest amount after clinching the league title in Arne Slot's debut season.
Manchester City, last season's victors, amassed a total of £175.9m, while Arsenal, who finished second, bagged £175.5m. A portion of the payments is fixed, with every club getting an equal slice of domestic and international broadcast rights, which amounted to £86.9m last season.
Additionally, each club received £8.2m from the league's central commercial revenue streams. The clubs also earn merit payments based on their final league standings and facility fees determined by the number of times their matches were broadcast during the season.
City pocketed a total of £56.4m for their triumph last season. Arsenal, however, as the most televised club, secured an extra £26.9m.
Sheffield United, who ended up at the bottom of the table last season, were awarded a basic merit payment of £2.8m, with the funds distributed on a sliding scale. The champions took home 20 times the basic amount, the runners-up 19 times, and so forth.
These figures will roughly be the same for this campaign. However, the overall amount will not be confirmed until the league releases their annual report which will break down exactly how much each club got.
The Premier League is the wealthiest league in the world, with Deloitte's latest annual review of football finance disclosing that the 20 clubs generated over £6bn in revenue for the first time in the 2022-23 campaign.
