Europa League: how much money will the clubs get from UEFA?
Champions League's little sister revenues have to be splitted in two parts: one is fixed and the other depends on the market pool
by Marco Bellinazzo
Europa League will cash in €225 M. 75% of these gross proceeds come from media right and commercial contracts and will flow into the participating clubs’ pockets starting from the group stage. The remaining 25% will be withheld by UEFA, to cover organizational and administrative costs.

Clubs will share €168,75 M, and we have to add a 40 M contribution from the Champions League. The total amount reaches €208,75 M. The net amount will we divided following a 60-40 quota: €125,25 M will be fixed, whereas €83,5 M will depend on the market pool, which is distributed according to the proportional value of each TV market of each club. Every club participating to the group stage will gain a €1,3 M bonus, plus €200,000 per win and €100,000 per draw.

Other bonuses will be granted in case of qualification to the round of 32. The 12 winning teams of each group will receive €400,000, the second ones €200,000.

The teams which will reach the round of 32 will get €200,000, an amount that will increase in the round of 16 (€350,000) quarter finals (€450,000), while the four semifinalists will earn one million each.

The club which will raise the cup will get €5 M, the finalists will have to make do with €2,5 M.

This means that a club will get – at most - €9,9 M in this season, without considering the market pool slice. If they qualify for the final, the four Italian clubs – Inter, Napoli, Fiorentina and Torino – will gain an amount that varies between 15 and 20 million. In addition, the winner of the EL will automatically qualify for the next Champions League. The clubs could gain another 7,5/10 M (depending on the capacity of the stadium) in case they reach the semifinals.

The four teams that participated to the last Europa League (Lazio, Fiorentina, then Napoli and Juventus after the UCL elimination) obtained €18 M thanks to the market pool.
