For any Premier League champion in England's top division, Manchester City is anticipated to get roughly £166 million in prize money and core league revenues this season.
When Pep Guardiola's team won the Premier League in May of last year, they took home £153 million, but this year, as a number of enhanced overseas TV contracts from 2022–23 take effect, that amount will rise.
The 20 teams are expected to split the £2.7 billion in league revenue, according to the Mail on Sunday's prediction for this season's massive rewards.
Six different components make up each club's reward: equal shares of domestic and international TV money; varying sums of domestic and international money based on merit, such as finishing position; 'facility' money that rises the more frequently a club appears in a televised live game in the UK; and a portion of the league's commercial revenue.
Before the biggest clubs started pushing for a larger portion of that pot for themselves, all foreign TV money was split equally.
They maintained that since Manchester United, Liverpool, and to a lesser extent Chelsea, Arsenal, and the other Big Six teams were the most watched teams on a global scale, they ought to receive more compensation.
It was agreed that starting with the 2019–20 season, any extra foreign money from that rights cycle would be divided based on merit (position), not equally. As a result of the epidemic, some broadcasters had to be given rebates, which led to a disorderly division of labor.
The new distribution mechanism is perhaps most apparent in the 2022–23 season, the first year of the new rights cycle, when Southampton, who finished in 20th position, is predicted to get only about £1.5 million in overseas merit money and City, who finished in first place, will receive almost £22 million.
This is absurd. Premier League is OP if Southampton earns more than the champions league winner and any other league winners.
