All 20 teams in the Premier League receive prize money come the end of the season with sums varying for league position, but the lowest amount dished out at the end of the 2021/22 campaign was still in excess of £100 million.

Half of the Premier League prize money comes from the domestic broadcasting deal, 50% of which goes directly to the clubs and is split evenly. Last year, this resulted in around £34.1 million for every side.

A further 25% of prize money is based on facility, which is the number of times a club is selected to be on UK television. A final 25% is then based on league position.

The final amounts for the 2022/23 season are still to be confirmed, but looking at the data from the last campaign, this is how much Leeds United and other Premier League clubs could receive if they finish in their current league position.
