How Premier League prize money will be split in 2025
Brighton & Hove Albion sit ninth in the Premier League following a 2-2 draw with Leicester City at the Amex Stadium. Despite an up-and-down campaign, Fabian Hürzeler’s side remains in the hunt for European football, with a sixth or seventh place finish potentially securing Europa League or Conference League qualification.
Beyond continental ambitions, a strong finish is financially crucial. Each position in the Premier League table translates to more prize money. Last season, ninth place earned approximately £33.8 million. Brighton’s solid financial health—highlighted by a £110m profit on player sales, including Moises Caicedo’s £115m move to Chelsea—positions them well for summer reinforcements.
The Seagulls are renowned for developing young talent, which could bring in even more revenue. Joao Pedro, Kaoru Mitoma, and Carlos Baleba are attracting major interest, with potential combined fees nearing £220m. Arsenal, Manchester City, and Al Nassr have all been linked.
However, Brighton’s recent dip—two losses and a draw—raises concerns. Chairman Tony Bloom will be wary of a repeat of last season’s late collapse, which led to an 11th-place finish.
Here’s the estimated prize money for Premier League clubs based on current standings (from 2023–24 figures):
1. Liverpool – £56.4m
2. Arsenal – £53.5m
3. Nottingham Forest – £50.7m
4. Chelsea – £47.9m
5. Newcastle – £45.1m
6. Manchester City – £42.2m
7. Aston Villa – £39.4m
8. Fulham – £36.7m
9. Brighton – £33.8m
… and so on.
Looking ahead, Brighton visit Brentford on Saturday. Hürzeler urged unity from the fans:
“We have to stick together. The season’s not done. If we have this value of togetherness and bring energy to the stands, we can finish strong. We weren’t able to do that in the second half today, so we have to apologise and do better next time.”
