Arsenal are set to receive a huge windfall when the Premier League prize money comes their way this summer.
Mikel Arteta ’s side have won the club’s first Premier League trophy in 22 years with Manchester City pushing them hard during the title run-in but ultimately falling short with a draw against Bournemouth earlier this week .
All 20 Premier League clubs will receive a total sum from the Premier League based off a fixed equal share payment, a merit payment based on final league position, a fixed commercial revenue payment and a variable facility fees payment, where teams are given a sum for every time they have a game broadcast live in the UK.
Premier League merit payments are awarded on a sliding scale from first place down to 20th.
Clubs also earn a set amount from both the Premier League’s domestic and international broadcast agreements.
The official figures are set to be revealed by the Premier League in July, but Arsenal can expect to receive in excess of £50 million in merit payments alone for winning the title.
Manchester City received £56.4m for finishing as champions in the 2023/24 campaign. Last season, Liverpool earned £53.1m in merit payments for finishing in top spot.
Overall, Liverpool earned £174.9m from the Premier League for their title-winning campaign, while City earned £175.9m

The other variable in prize money are the facility fees, which is based on how many times each team has played on TV throughout the course of the campaign.
Last season, Liverpool topped the facilities fees payments table as they earned £24.9m from their matches which were broadcast live in the UK.
Arsenal had 29 games broadcast live in the UK last term which earned them £24.2m.
Manchester United , who finished 15th last season, were third as they earned £23.4m from 28 live matches.
