Bundesliga is a money machine, the league is as lucrative or even more than other top european leagues. German fans are soccer lovers in the country and that means a high TV revenue for the league and the teams that play in it.

So far it is known that there is a deal for the distribution of earnings by TV rights in the Bundesliga andthe current deal was signed in 2017 and will last until 2022, but it is very likely that the same deal will be improved or continue as is for the next season.

The TV rights will generate approximately €1 billion euros ($1.08bn) per season for the Bundesliga, of which 70% is shared between the German league teams, the bigger prize goes to the winner, runners-up and third spot of the standings which take the other 30% of the TV right earnings.
