TV Rights Money Distribution Among Premier League Clubs:

Unlike other big leauges around europe, in premier league tv rights money and prize money is distributed among all 20 premier league sides equally. Lets take a look how the system works.

Premier League Prize Money Pool:

The premier league prize money pool is setup with two portions of money.

  • A ) Domestic TV rights deal money
  • B) Oversees TV rights Deal money

I will try to explain how both sets of rights deal are distributed between 20 premier league clubs.

A) Domestic TV rights deal distribution:

So the money from domestic rights deal will be divided according to the following formula.

  1. 50% Divided equally among 20 premier league clubs
  2. 25% merit money, and distributed among 20 clubs according to final league position.
  3. 25% Facility Fee, is given out to clubs for live televised matches in UK. The more live matches a team feature more money is awarded For example with the current deal £750,000 is given each time a team features in a live match. Last season Manchester United featured in 25 live matches so facility fee was 25x£750k= 18.7 million.
B) Oversees TV rights Deal Distribution:

100% of oversees tv rights deal money is distributed equally among all teams. last year £32 million was given to every premier league club.
