Liverpool’s 2024/25 Premier League title wasn’t just a sporting triumph, it was a financial one too.
The Reds brought in a record-breaking sum from the league’s central payments, surpassing last season’s earnings despite slight reductions in certain revenue streams.
In total, Liverpool earned £174.9 million from their top-flight campaign, around £4 million more than the £170.9m they received in 2023/24 when they finished third.

The full breakdown of Liverpool’s £174.9m payout
The Premier League’s central payments to clubs consist of several key categories: domestic and international broadcasting shares, merit-based rewards, facility fees and commercial revenue.
Here’s how Liverpool’s earnings were distributed:
- Equal share (domestic TV rights): £29.8m (down from £31.2m in 2023/24)
- Equal share (international TV rights): £59.2m (up from £55.7m)
- Merit payment (domestic): £32.3m (for finishing 1st)
- Merit payment (international): £20.8m
- Facility fees (based on live broadcasts): £24.9m (30 live games)
- Commercial revenue share: £7.9m (slight dip from £8.2m)
While some figures slightly decreased, including the domestic broadcast share and commercial split, those were offset by international growth and Liverpool’s first-place merit bonuses.
For comparison, Manchester City earned £22.6m in international merit payments last season for finishing top, meaning Liverpool’s haul reflects a tighter distribution model across clubs.
Beyond club-level earnings, the Premier League confirmed it committed more than £550 million to the wider football ecosystem in 2024/25 (via BBC Sport).
That figure supports everything from the domestic football pyramid to grassroots initiatives and community programs.
As Liverpool plan for the next campaign, this financial windfall adds further fuel to their off-pitch momentum, a timely boost heading into the next phase of Arne Slot’s reign.
