The Premier League season has concluded, so we now know the final position of every club.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

From title winners – congratulations, Arsenal – to the European place, and, of course, the occupant of the final relegation spot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Moving up, or down, even a single spot is worth around \u00a32.6million, based on last season\u2019s figures confirmed by the Premier League.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

That figure is almost guaranteed to change, and potentially increase, due to inflation and other variables over the last 12 months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Add in the record-breaking broadcast bounty, and the windfall sky-rockets. Southampton, who finished 20th last season, pocketed around \u00a3100m for TV money and other bonuses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Premier League prize money<\/p>\n

Premier League<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How much prize money each Premier League team earns<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

The Premier League have confirmed \u201cas part of the money they receive from central payments, clubs earn money based on their final positions in the Premier League table, with these merit payments based on a sliding scale calculated according to where you finish, from 1st to 20th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

\u201cArsenal<\/strong>for example, are set to receive 20 times the basic merit payment, while the club who finish second get 19 times, and so on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

\u201cLast season, each place was worth approximately an additional \u00a32.6m, with champions Liverpool earning \u00a353.1m, while bottom club Southampton received \u00a32.6m.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Domestic and international broadcast revenues are divided equally between the 20 teams. who will also get around \u00a38m from \u201ccentral commercial revenue streams\u201d, as confirmed by the Premier League last summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Looking again at last season, champions Liverpool took home \u00a3174.9m in Premier League prize money, while bottom-of-the-pile Southampton got \u00a365.7m less with \u00a3109.2m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

That is a good yardstick for this season, with the final totals not set to be confirmed until July 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Manchester United<\/strong> can expect to take home around \u00a3165.5m for finishing third, while Liverpool<\/strong> will pocket \u00a3160.2m for finishing fifth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Chelsea<\/strong> dropped to 10th after the final round of games, which is worth \u00a3138.9m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Tottenham<\/strong> secured back-to-back 17th-placed finishes, and earned \u00a3127.8m for avoiding relegation last season. West Ham<\/strong>who finished in 18th, will take home \u00a3116.9m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
