After a relatively calm final day of fixtures, the 2024/25 Premier League has come to an end: Liverpool have now been given a champions parade around Anfield, Enzo Maresca-led Chelsea and Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United secured Champions League action for next season and Manchester United managed to finish in 15th.
As a result of proceedings coming to an end, all 20 competing clubs are in line to receive their annual prize money payout – and last season, they were paid from a kitty of £2.84 billion from the Premier League, receiving a total of six payments as a result.
That includes merit payments, which derive from what position each team finishes the season in, and The Mirror has reported how much each team – from the title-winning Reds to bottom-placed Saints – are set to pocket now the 2024/25 top flight campaign has concluded.
20-16
Southampton, Ipswich Town, Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Wolverhampton Wanderers
By virtue of being commonly admired as one of the worst teams in Premier League history – as evidenced by their lowly 20th-placed finish, it should come as no surprise to understand that Southampton were given just £2.8m for their efforts.
Ipswich Town and Leicester City, too, have been demoted from the English top division but the two now-Championship outfits are set to pocket £5.7m and £8.5m, respectively.

Despite their exploits on the Europa League stage, Tottenham Hotspur have endured a difficult run of things domestically. Despite winning on the final day, Ange Postecoglou-led Spurs are expected to line their pockets with a mere £11.3m.
Wolverhampton Wanderers – despite a positive season, especially under the stewardship of Vitor Pereira – have been unable to crack the £15m mark, reports have suggested, but a top ten finish next term could enhance their financial boost.

Manchester United, West Ham United, Everton, Crystal Palace, Fulham
At one point, relegation was on the cards for Manchester United according to Ruben Amorim – so finishing 15th, after beating Aston Villa on the final day, is much better than some expected. They are set to earn £16.9m, which is less than West Ham United (£19.7m).
Everton and this season’s FA Cup winners Crystal Palace, who finished 13th and 12th respectively, will be relatively happy with how 2024/25 has panned out, especially given they are set to earn plenty of money from doing so.
Marco Silva, once again, has performed brilliantly at the helm of Fulham – and that’s despite the west Londoners finishing just outside the top half. By virtue of their 11th-placed finish, the Craven Cottage outfit will pocket £28.2m.

Brentford, Bournemouth, Brighton & Hove Albion, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa
Thomas Frank’s Brentford, Bournemouth – led by the impressive Andoni Iraola – and Fabian Hurzeler-led Brighton & Hove Albion all enjoyed fruitful domestic seasons in England in 2024/25. As a result, they are set to earn £31m, £33.8m and £36.7m, respectively, as they, albeit looking further ahead, want to secure European football for 2026/27.
Nottingham Forest were once poised to secure a return to the continent’s top tier club competition – but the Garibaldi, instead, finished the term in seventh place with the Europa Conference League (and £39.4m) to contend with instead. Europa League-securing Aston Villa, who finished sixth, are set to earn £42.2m.

Newcastle United, Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool
Newcastle United and Chelsea, thanks to their last-day exploits of securing Champions League football, are also set to line their pockets. Respectively, the two clubs – both of whom are excited about Europe’s top table – will earn £45.1m and £47.9m.
Upon Kevin De Bruyne’s departure, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City may have gone the season trophyless – but finishing in the top four was inevitable, wasn’t it? A 2-0 win against Fulham saw them pick up a bronze medal in an otherwise uncharacteristic season.
Arsenal, having finished in second place three seasons on the bounce, are set to earn an eye-catching figure of £53.5m. Next season, in the eyes of Mikel Arteta and his entourage, he will be the one to finally secure gold.
Arne Slot has managed to alleviate the post-Jurgen Klopp stress by winning the Premier League title in his maiden season – and, as such, the Dutchman’s side are poised for a hefty windfall as a result. In fact, they could earn around the £56.4m mark.
