As is usually the case after the last match of the season, it’s time to settle the accounts. One of the more attractive topics regarding the Champions League is the distribution of prize money. For the first time, the competition was held in a new format. The value of a win or a draw was slightly reduced, but overall, UEFA provided larger rewards—evidenced by the fact that Paris Saint-Germain earned nearly 150,000,000 euros (compared to Real Madrid’s 141,000,000 last year), and that as many as seven clubs surpassed the 100 million mark. 29/36 clubs have secured their place in the 2025/26 Champions League:
Real Madrid
Manchester City
Bayern Munich
Liverpool
PSG
Inter
Chelsea
Borussia Dortmund
Barcelona
Arsenal
Bayer Leverkusen
Atlético Madrid

The only quarterfinalist that did not earn over 100,000,000 was Aston Villa. Outside the “big five” leagues, the most money flowed into Benfica’s coffers (71,440,000) and two Dutch giants PSV and Feyernoord are right behind with 65 and 64 million euros.

As a reminder, 29 of the 36 participants for next season are already known. The other ones will be determined through the qualifications. There will be three rounds of qualifications and playoffs to determine the remaining seven participants and the first matches are already scheduled and will take place on 8/9th of July, just over a month from now.##NAJAVA_MECA_8957778##
