Premier League prize money 2023/24: how much every club earnings as Man City wins title

The Premier League is renowned as the most lucrative football league globally, with all 20 clubs reaping significant financial rewards at the end of each season.

For Wolverhampton Wanderers, the season exceeded expectations, despite initial concerns following Julen Lopetegui’s departure and the appointment of Gary O’Neil as manager, which wasn’t universally popular among the fans.

Nevertheless, O’Neil managed to instill a strong team spirit and work ethic within the squad, guiding Wolves to a 14th place finish. This achievement is estimated to have earned the club around £130 million in prize money, similar to the previous season’s earnings.

Manchester City secured their fourth consecutive Premier League title, capping off a season filled with drama and unexpected twists, while the promoted clubs are set to return to the Championship.

Despite their performance, all 20 teams are expected to receive over £100 million in prize money, underscoring the financial might of the Premier League. Even Sheffield United, enduring one of the worst seasons in Premier League history, is set to receive a nine-figure sum, largely due to the league’s unparalleled global broadcast revenue.

Each club receives nearly £80 million in equal share payments, supplemented by a basic commercial figure of just under £10 million. Additionally, clubs earn a facility fee of around £900,000 for every live televised match in the UK.

Merit payments, based on final league position, further contribute to clubs’ earnings. Last season, each place was worth £3.1 million, with the champions earning £62.3 million.

While precise payouts won’t be disclosed until early 2025, the figures from last year, based on confirmed prize money, provide a rough estimate of earnings:

1. Manchester City: £176.2 million
2. Arsenal: £172.2 million
