Arsenal top Premier League payments,
four clubs earn more than Leicester
The Premier League has revealed the payments made to
clubs for the 2015-16 season, with four teams earning
more money than champions Leicester City.
Arsenal were the biggest earners, raking in £101.952
million. Second on the list were Manchester City at
£96.972m, followed by Manchester United at £96.477m
and Tottenham Hotspur with £95.222m.
Leicester come in fifth with £93.22m as they were chosen
for live television broadcast in the UK on far fewer
occasions than the traditional big clubs.
Fifty percent of UK broadcast revenue split is equally
(£21.925m for each of the 20 clubs), with 25 percent paid
in prize money based on league position and 25 percent
allocated based on the number of times a club’s matches
are broadcast in the UK. All international broadcast
revenue is shared equally.
The Foxes were shown live just 15 times, while Arsenal
were the most popular choice for broadcasters Sky and BT
with 27 of their 38 matches picked. Man United were
shown 26 times, Man City 25, Liverpool 23, Chelsea 22
and Spurs 21. Everton (18) and Newcastle (16) were also
shown live more times than the champions.
Aston Villa, who finished bottom, received £1.242m in
prize money and for each position up the league table the
merit payment increases by that amount — Leicester
received £24.848m for winning the title.
Each club also gets £29.416m from the overseas
broadcast deal and £4.509m from the central commercial
contract.
Villa earned £66.622m in total despite finishing bottom,
with the other relegated clubs Norwich earning £67.117m
and Newcastle £72.847m.
Next season the new UK broadcast deal with Sky and BT
kicks in, which sees a 71 percent increase in revenues. It
means the team finishing bottom of the Premier League
can expect to earn in the region of £100m.
The Premier League also published the parachute
payments paid to Championship clubs. Burnley, Hull City
and Queens Park Rangers received £25.937m, while Cardiff
City and Fulham were paid £20.803m with Blackburn
Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Reading, Wigan Athletic and
Wolverhampton Wanderers on £10.535m.
