Liverpool dominate the Premier League prize money table
Liverpool annexed the Premier League 2024/25 title and also took home the most prize money, earning an estimated £181.5 million.
Their league-topping performance was matched by a commanding presence in global broadcasting revenue and merit-based distribution.
It marks another feather in the cap for the Reds, who clinched the 2024/25 EPL title to equal Manchester United's haul of 20 league honours, per The Guardian.
Arsenal and Manchester City complete the podium
Thomas Partey's Arsenal, narrowly missing out on the title, earned £177.8 million according to estimates by The Athletic.
The Gunners' second-place finish is a huge leap forward in their long-term project as they aim for the Premier League and Champions League next season.

Meanwhile, defending champions Manchester City came in third, both in the league and in prize money, collecting £171.5 million.
Pep Guardiola’s side may have missed out on a fifth consecutive title, but their high finish ensured a healthy windfall nonetheless.
EPL prize money for Chelsea, Newcastle, Aston Villa
Conference League finalists Chelsea, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa rounded out the top six, earning £169.5m, £165.8m, and £164.6m respectively.
For Newcastle and Villa, these figures underscore how far the clubs have come in their evolution, financial and competitive.
With European football secured, these clubs are likely to see even higher revenues next season through UEFA distributions.
Nottingham Forest surprised many with a 7th-place finish and a payday of £157.5 million, eclipsing the likes of Brighton and Bournemouth, who themselves earned £149.6m and £147.6m respectively.
How much prize money did Manchester United receive?
The financial gap between midtable clubs remained tight. Brentford, Crystal Palace, and Manchester United earned £143m, £139.8m, and £139.5m respectively.
Fulham and Everton weren’t far behind, collecting £139.3m and £135.2m. West Ham followed with £134m, while Tottenham, who endured a disappointing campaign, received £130.4m, their lowest haul in years.
Prize money for relegated Premier League teams
Jordan Ayew's relegated side, Leicester City, finishing 18th, earned £119.2m, while 19th-placed Ipswich Town took £112.9m.
Bottom club Southampton of Ghana's Kamaldeen Sulemana, wasn’t far behind with £110.9m.
These figures reflect the Premier League’s incredible broadcasting deals and global reach, where even the lowest-ranked teams receive more than some champions in other European leagues.
