Premier League clubs earn £250m in on-field Champions League prize moneyPremier League clubs earned £250m in Champions League group stagesPremier League clubs in the Champions League have banked over £250m in on-field prize money after all six teams qualified for the knockouts. But the six teams combined not only proved the strength of the Premier League in the pool stages of the Champions League, but managed to rake in a significant pay packet too. Champions League prize money is split into two sections: performance-related bonuses and a value pillar, whereby media rights agreements in various territories contribute to a payment. The 36th placed Champions League team gets a single £240,000 share, with each position above that receiving an extra share. In total, then, the six English Premier League teams have earned an on-field prize money total of £263.5m.
