Liverpool’s return to the summit of English football could be worth more than just bragging rights.
After a stellar campaign that could see them lift their 20th league title, the Reds are also set to cash in big — and that payday is no small win either.
According to projections (via The Athletic), Liverpool are expected to earn a massive £177 million ($222 million) from their Premier League triumph.
This amount comes from a combination of prize money, broadcast payments, and international bonuses. In the money league of football, finishing first certainly pays off.
Here’s how the prize is broken down:
- Equal share from broadcast revenue: £95 million
- Title winner’s bonus: £56.4 million
- TV appearances: £25.2 million
- International TV bonus: £8.1 million
That adds up to £177 million — slightly ahead of what Manchester City earned last season for their title win.
But there’s more to this windfall than meets the eye. Last season, Liverpool recorded a pre-tax loss of £57 million, largely due to their absence from the Champions League.
That cut their media earnings and made a dent in their finances. This league win and the money that comes with it helps Liverpool bounce back both on and off the pitch.

Can Liverpool use this money in the summer transfer window?
Fans are already dreaming of new signings, and with this kind of cash, the possibilities are mouthwatering. But Liverpool may not go on a shopping spree just yet.
A chunk of the money will likely go toward clearing past debts, including the costs of expanding Anfield. There’s also Financial Fair Play rules to keep in mind — so splashing it all at once would be risky business.
Still, manager Arne Slot could get the green light to make some smart moves. With the midfield already looking sharp, the focus might shift to reinforcing the defense or bringing in a new forward.
And with the Reds back on top, attracting top talent shouldn’t be a problem. After all, who wouldn’t want to play for the kings of England?
For Liverpool, this Premier League crown doesn’t just shine in the trophy cabinet.
It brings in serious funds, eases financial worries, and maybe — just maybe — sets the stage for another exciting summer.
