THE Premier League is the most lucrative league in the world and all 20 clubs are guaranteed to earn huge sums from simply just being in the division.
But how much can each team get in the 2022/23 season?
Premier League prize money explained
The league has not made prize money public since halfway through the previous decade but the breakdown is known and that means estimates can easily be calculated.
And teams will take home even more this season, with the broadcast pot rising from last term’s figure of around £2.5billion.
The team that become champions will bag over £160m, but even teams that finish in the bottom three and drop out of the division will make over £100m from prize money alone.
The league is able to do so part in thanks to the Premier League’s enormous international fanbase and the fortunes made in TV rights agreements.

Unsurprisingly, the teams at the top of the table took home the most prize money in the 2021/2022 season, with champions Manchester City banking £161.3m, while close runners-up Liverpool received £159.8m, the Mirror reported.
