It's no secret that the Premier League is Europe's dominant league as far as revenue is concerned, with even the smallest clubs in England's top flight being able to attract excellent talent from around the globe due to the money on offer.

From table-topping Liverpool to basement club Southampton, each of the 20 clubs receives a substantial amount of money from the broadcast revenue that the league generates, but while some of the payments that the clubs receive are fixed (meaning each club receives the same amount, regardless of on-field performance), other factors do come into play, such as final league position, as well as the amount of times a team appeared in a live TV game.

Last season, each club received £86.8 million ($115.6 million) in Equal Share broadcast money as well as £8.2 million ($10.9 million) each from central commercial revenue streams, meaning that even Sheffield United, which finished at the bottom of the table, ended up pocketing £109.7 million ($146 million).

However, it does pay to be successful too, as Manchester City knows all too well

The Etihad Stadium club raked in more money from the Premier League than any other team last season, collecting £175.9 million ($234.2 million).

The extra money that City earned on top of the guaranteed £95 million ($126.5 million) that every club collected,comprised £56.4 million ($75.1 million) in prize money as a result of the club winning the Premier League, as well as £24.4 million ($32.5 million) in facility fees, which are calculated off how many times a team appears in a live TV game in the UK.

Arsenal actually received a higher amount than City in facility fees last season, as the 31 of the Gunners' 38 games were shown live in the UK, as opposed to just 28 of City's

Burnley received the lowest amount of money from facility fees, pocketing just £9.3 million ($12.4 million) after appearing in a televised league game in the UK on just 10 occasions.

The total amount of money that each club received generally correlated to the final league standings, but there were some slight discrepancies, such as Tottenham receiving more money than Aston Villa and Manchester United receiving more money than Newcastle.

Spurs finished a place below Villa and United finished a place below Newcastle, but both Spurs and United appeared in significantly more televised games in the UK, bumping their earnings up.

The 2023-24 payments to clubs were not announced until June last year, so it is not clear exactly how much Liverpool stands to earn from winning the league this season, but it's safe to assume it will be a similar figure to the £175.9 million ($234.2 million) that City earned last season, and quite possibly a little more owing to inflation.
