How Much Championship Prize Money Does the Winner Get?​

The winner of the second tier of English football will land themselves Championship prize money to the sum of around £11 million, plus a relatively slight amount of additional income from a merit payment and facility fees.

Merit payments, which pay teams more prize money for finishing higher in the division, are described as being negligible compared to the basic award amount of £11 million.

On top of these two revenue streams, the top team will likely feature on live TV broadcasts more, earning them more in facility fees than clubs that are lower down the table.

That said, if the Championship winner was also relegated from the Premier League in the last three seasons, they’ll only receive half of the £11 million basic award due to their continued parachute payments income.

That’s a decent amount.
