The success of the Premier League has long been predicated on the enormous financial sums that broadcasters are willing to pay for screening games in both the domestic market in the UK, where Sky Sports and TNT Sports are the broadcasters, as well as the international market, with the value of rights differing between countries and territories.
For the current Premier League TV cycle, the value of the deal was over four years, extended for another year from the normal three-year cycle that had been in place in the past. The value of the current deal is worth more than £12bn over the life of the deal, with £6.7bn of that arriving from domestic rights. The current cycle kicked in at the start of the 2024/25 season.
How Broadcast Revenue is Divided between Premier League Clubs
There are three parts to Premier League broadcast revenue; domestic, international and commercial rights.
Domestic Broadcast Rights
There are three main factors which determine how much each club earns from domestic broadcast rights:
Equal share payment (£29.8m for the season)
Merit payment (£1.6m per place in the final table)
Facility fees (£830k for each live appearance on domestic television)
International Broadcast Rights
Revenue for international rights is more fluid, because deals are agreed outside the domestic cycle and games are sold to foreign broadcasters in large packages. It is therefore harder to predict how much each team will earn from them.
There are two factors which determine how much each club earns from international broadcasting:
Equal share payment
Merit payment
Facility fees are baked into the equal share payment, as all games are shown internationally. Domestically, the number of games shown on television is limited by the 3pm blackout rule.
Commercial Rights
Each Premier League club receives an equal share of the £158m that the league earns from its official partners. This works out at £7.9m per club.
Domestic Facility Fees So Far This Season
Facility fees can be a valuable source of income for clubs. Last year’s figures showed that Liverpool, chosen for 30 live games, earned £24.9m, while Manchester United, who finished a place below West Ham United but featured in 10 more live games than the Hammers at 28, earned £23.4m compared to the London Stadium side bringing in £15.4m.
Domestic broadcasters pick the games for the schedule ahead of time, and we already know what it looks like from now until the end of November. Using the same figures for facility fees as last year (£830k per televised game), we can see which clubs are leading the way when it comes to the live TV money up to that point.

Other Domestic Revenue – Equal Share and Merit Payments
The domestic central payments figures for 2024/25 showed that each Premier League side received £29.8m as an equal share payment from the domestic market, with merit payments of £1.6m per place in the competition, with champions Liverpool receiving the maximum £32.3m. These are expected to remain for the current season, meaning each Premier League team will earn between £31.4m and £61.8m, in addition to their facility fees. Here is how much each team would earn from equal share and metric payments depending on where they finish in the table this season.
The precise figure for facility fees is is £1.615m. This has been included in our calculations but rounded down in text to improve readability.

Revenue from International Rights – Equal Share and Merit Payments
International rights are bundled and sold as a package deal to foreign broadcasters. It’s baked into the equal share that they get from international rights, alongside the merit payment structure. The international cycle doesn’t work alongside the domestic one, so revenue can vary as some territories sell rights at different times.
There are no facility fees paid to clubs on a per-game basis when they are selected for live coverage because all 380 games are shown live throughout the season on NBC and its associated platforms, NBC, USA Network and its streaming platform Peacock.
The value of those live games is shown through the strength of the equal rights which are paid out. For the international market the equal share per club for 2024/25 was £59.2m, a figure £29.4m higher than the merit payment from the domestic rights. The merit payment worked out at £1.04m per place in the table.
Revenue from Commercial Rights – Official Premier League Partners
Aside from the huge sums that arrive into the Premier League from the sale of broadcast rights packages at home and abroad, the competition also carves up £158m in commercial revenue that the League derives from official partners between the 20 member clubs.
That comes out at £7.9m per club, an equal fee that comes from the money raised from the official partnerships that the Premier League has with the likes of lead sponsor EA Sports, and other brands such as Budweiser, Barclays, Coca Cola, Adobe and Microsoft.
Every Premier League Club’s Estimated Broadcast Revenue this Season
We have estimated every Premier League club’s broadcast revenue for the 2025/26 top flight season. This is based on:
Equal share (domestic and international) and Commercial rights revenue being the same as last season
Merit payments (domestic and international) being the same as last season, with final league position determined by Supercomputer predictions
Facility payments being the same as last season, with the final number of televised games determined by extrapolating each team’s percentage of games broadcasted by gameweek 13 across the whole season.
This table will be updated regularly to reflect the number of televised games each team has been involved in, as well as updated supercomputer predictions for final league position.
