EPL Billions, Big Cash-Out! – How 20 Clubs Shared 2020/21 Season Prize Money   

The 2020/2021 Premier league season came to a close a fortnight ago with Manchester City winning the title for the fifth time with an impressive display. Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea made it through to the Champions League while the likes of Leicester City, West Ham and Tottenham also qualified for the Europa League, Completesports.com reports.

On the other end, teams such as Sheffield United, West Brom, and Fulham were relegated from the Premier League and will be playing their football in the Championship next season.

Completesports.com’s AUGUSTINE AKHILOMEN, in this piece, investigates and reports about the earnings of all the 20 Premier League clubs from an odd season, on and off the pitch, where every side had their wallets hit by a lack of fans, leaving matchday and ticketing incomes almost completely decimated due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to a report published by Dailymail, all the teams are expected to split slightly more than £2.5billion in central funds and prize money for the 2020-21 season, with champions Manchester City set to receive around £154m and bottom-placed Sheffield United around £91m.

Good enough, all the teams in the league are rewarded for their participation, regardless of where they finished at the end of the season.

Here’s the distribution of the Premier League money among clubs.

Domestic TV Rights Breakdown

Equal Share: 50% of the total money will be be divieded equally between all the teams.

Merit Payments: The next 25% of the total money will be divided on the basis of the final positions of the team in the league table.

Merit Payments: The last 25% of the total money will be divided on the basis of how many times the team’s match was shown live.

International Broadcast Revenues

All the International money will be divided equally between all the teams in the league.
So the premier league prize money pool for 2020-21 will be arranged with two portions of money.

Each club is given an equal share of £34m from the domestic TV deal, with an extra facility fee depending on how many times they were broadcast. They also received a £5m share of commercial revenue each and an equal share of £43m each from International TV rights.

Overseas TV rights were previously distributed as equal shares by the Premier League, but this was changed in the 2019-22 deal. Clubs will continue to share current levels of overseas revenue equally, but any increase will be distributed based on their position in the league.
 
Journalist, Nick Harris (@SportingIntel),  has provided a thorough breakdown (See Below) of the total prize money received by the 20 teams in the Premier League.
