A club-by-club breakdown of the 2023-24 Premier League prize money

Manchester City have won a fourth consecutive Premier League title and have subsequently earned more prize money than any other club in the league.

The Premier League is the richest league in the world and it won’t come as a huge surprise to learn that clubs from up and down the country will earn vast sums of money this season.

Regardless of where a club finishes in the league, they are guaranteed to earn around £88.6million for their equal cut of the UK and international broadcast deals.

Along with the huge sums that clubs earn through commercial deals, Premier League sides are also awarded prize money based on where they finish in the league.

Premier League clubs earn approximately £1.7million per place for their UK merit payment and they also earn around £1.4million per place for the international merit payment. In total, that equates to around £3.1million per place in the Premier League.

Given the importance of abiding by Financial Fair Play rules, every penny counts in the Premier League and the difference between finishing a few places higher can have a substantial impact on a club’s financial wriggle room.
