Revenues for English Football League clubs are pooled, with clubs receiving a set amount per season.
The Premier League operates slightly differently, as they offer prize money depending on a club's finishing position.
The Championship
For the 2024-25 season, clubs in the Championship received just below £11m. This figure includes a basic award amount (50%) and solidarity payments (50%) from the Premier League.
However, clubs who have been relegated from the Premier League within the last three years are not entitled to solidarity payments, meaning they will receive roughly half of that £11m figure from the EFL.
Additional to those central payments, clubs relegated from the Premier League in the past three seasons also receive 'parachute payments'.
Luton Town, Burnley and Sheffield United received an estimated £49m as 'first year' relegated teams. Leeds United, a 'second year' relegated team, received around £40m.
Watford and Norwich City – 'third year' relegated clubs - received around £17m.
League One and League Two
Clubs in League One receive about £2m each per season. In League Two, the figure is about £1.5m.
These figures also combine a basic award amount and solidarity payments from the Premier League.
Broadcasting deal
The five-year broadcasting deal is worth £895m in rights fees plus £40m in additional marketing benefits.
That breaks down to EFL clubs receiving a split of £187m per season for their games to be shown on TV – this is what is incorporated into the basic award payment as highlighted above.
Play-off riches
Those taking part in the play-offs generate slightly more income through the additional gate receipts from a potential Wembley appearance.
The winners will also be guaranteed an increase in revenue the following season as they are promoted to the league above.
Promotion from the Championship, be that in the regular season or through the play-offs, is the most lucrative, with clubs benefiting from Premier League broadcasting revenue and the safety net of parachute payments, if they are relegated in the future.
