Premier League prize money: How much clubs make per position

Premier League

You can debate all you want over whether it’s the best, but there’s no denying that the Premier League remains Europe’s most lucrative league.

This is a land where relegation candidates can spend close to £100m in a single transfer window in the hope of survival, where mid-table fodder can attract some of the continent’s brightest young stars and the very best can sign whomever they plead at the click of a finger.

The Premier League’s quality across the board is unmatched, with the division emerging as a utopia for commercial success. While their competitors struggle for international TV rights, the Premier League has global broadcasters at their knees. Everybody wants a piece of the pie.

This is a monetary haven, but constraints have been implemented to ensure clubs are running sustainably. The new rules mean revenues are imperative for Premier League teams and the easiest way to boost such figures is by finishing as high in the table as possible come season’s end. A position in the standings is worth millions.

Here’s how much each club makes in prize money per final position in the Premier League.
