Club-by-club: A breakdown of the 2017-18 Premier League prize money

Planet Football •

Manchester United were the biggest beneficiaries of the Premier League’s huge pot of prize money and TV income for the 2017-18 season.

Each club takes an equal share of £80.4million, while the rest is divided depending on the final league position and the number of televised matches.

There is a minimum for TV income, set at £12.3million for hosting up to 10 games, with clubs earning an extra £1.1million on top of that for each game over 10.

Prize money is awarded per league position, with each side earning £1.9million for every place they finish above bottom.
