All 20 clubs also received £8.2 million ($10.6 million) from central commercial revenue streams, bringing the equal share distribution to £94.9 million ($123 million).
Clubs also receive additional broadcasting revenue on an individual basis (facility fees column) based on the number of times their games were televised in the UK. Last season, Arsenal were shown on television the most (31 times), which resulted in an additional £26.9 million ($34.9 million) of broadcast revenue. Burnley, on the other hand, were shown the fewest times (10) and received £9.3 million ($12.1 million).
Which Premier League club earned the most?
As champions, Manchester City narrowly edged Arsenal in total Premier League payments as the Gunners’ extra £2.5 million in facility fees fell just shy of the £2.8 million difference in merit payments.
