Champions League teams will get more prize money for the next three years from a near eight per cent rise in total revenue to 3.5 billion euros from broadcast and sponsor sales tied to UEFA’s three club competitions.
Total revenue is set to rise by 250 million euros annually through 2024 compared to the 2018-21 period, the European Leagues group said Thursday in an online conference.
Champions League clubs will get a small increase while 235 million euros in prize money will be allocated to the Europa Conference League, a third-tier competition that launches next season.
The 32 Champions League clubs will share just over 2 billion euros, compared to 1.95 billion each season from 2018-21. Small deductions are made from each club to help pay back broadcasters for disruption during the coronavirus pandemic last season.
