The Premier League rewards its teams like no other domestic competition in the continent. Halfof the TV broadcasting rights are shared equally, while a quarter is split according to facility (how many times a team was aired on national TV) and another quarter is the prize money (or merit payment), which is divided based on league position.

Naturally, those who finish higher get a larger slice of the pie, which is why the champion receives the biggest paycheck. Though the Premier League hasn’t madeprize money public for a long time, it has been estimated in previous years.

Soccer finance expert Kieran Maguire broke down the numbers last year, saying that Manchester City bagged£161.3m in their successful 2021-22 campaign. According to The Mirror, the broadcast money will increase from nearly£2.5bn last term, so the 2022-23 Premier League champions would make even more than£160 million.
