It’s been revealed how much prize money every club competing in the 2025-26 Premier League season has earned.
While all 20 clubs receive a certain amount of money depending on where they finish in the Premier League table, that doesn’t paint the whole picture in terms of their total earnings.
Arsenal won the title for the first time in 22 years, eventually finishing seven points clear of second-placed Manchester City.
Manchester United, Aston Villa and Liverpool sealed the three remaining Champions League spots, while Bournemouth and Sunderland secured a place in next season’s Europa League. Brighton clinched a spot in the Europa Conference League qualifiers, while Chelsea missed out on Europe altogether.
And at the opposite end of the table, Tottenham narrowly avoided relegation at the expense of West Ham, who join Burnley and Wolves in the Championship.
The Athletic have calculated how much prize money every Premier League team earned this season based on information provided by various club sources across the division.
Every club received an equal share of £31.9 million (UK) and £56.6 million (international) for competing in the Premier League. However, the clubs then received different amounts based on facility fees and merit payments.

It won’t come as a huge surprise to learn that Wolves were the lowest earners this season, closely followed by Burnley. However, the two relegated sides both pocketed a cool £117.7 million and £118.1 million, respectively.
West Ham’s total tally was £128.6 million, despite failing to beat the drop, while Tottenham banked £135.8 million.
Other clubs in the bottom half of the prize money table are Newcastle (£154.2 million), Everton (£147.7 million) and Leeds United (£144.5 million).

Arsenal earned just shy of £200 million during their Premier League title-winning campaign.
Manchester City (£192.5 million) and Manchester United (£191.5 million) were only separated by £1 million, while Aston Villa needed £182.6 million.
Liverpool were the red-hot Premier League favourites back in August but could only manage a fifth-place finish under Arne Slot. The Reds still earned £181.8 million in total, though.
Sunderland exceeded all expectations and took home a huge £168.2 million, while Chelsea still got £162.6 million despite a hugely underwhelming campaign.
