How much prize money does your EFL club receive?
Revenues for English Football League clubs are pooled, with clubs receiving a set amount per season.The Premier League operates slightly differently, as they offer prize money depending on a club's finishing position.
The Championship
For the 2024-25 season, clubs in the Championship received just below £11m. This figure includes a basic award amount (50%) and solidarity payments (50%) from the Premier League.However, clubs who have been relegated from the Premier League within the last three years are not entitled to solidarity payments, meaning they will receive roughly half of that £11m figure from the EFL.Additional to those central payments, clubs relegated from the Premier League in the past three seasons also receive 'parachute payments'.Luton Town, Burnley and Sheffield United received an estimated £49m as 'first year' relegated teams. Leeds United, a 'second year' relegated team, received around £40m.Watford and Norwich City – 'third year' relegated clubs - received around £17m.
League One and League Two
Clubs in League One receive about £2m each per season. In League Two, the figure is about £1.5m.These figures also combine a basic award amount and solidarity payments from the Premier League.
Broadcasting deal
The five-year broadcasting deal is worth £895m in rights fees plus £40m in additional marketing benefits.That breaks down to EFL clubs receiving a split of £187m per season for their games to be shown on TV – this is what is incorporated into the basic award payment as highlighted above.
Play-off riches
Those taking part in the play-offs generate slightly more income through the additional gate receipts from a potential Wembley appearance.The winners will also be guaranteed an increase in revenue the following season as they are promoted to the league above.Promotion from the Championship, be that in the regular season or through the play-offs, is the most lucrative, with clubs benefiting from Premier League broadcasting revenue and the safety net of parachute payments, if they are relegated in the future.This article is the latest from BBC Sport's Ask Me Anything team.

Raducanu bursts into tears live on TV after thrilling win ahead of Wimbledon
Emma Raducanu broke down in tears after her eye-catching comeback win against Ann Li in Eastbourne. Raducanu got off to a difficult start but eventually got over the line with a 6-7 6-3 6-1 success, before letting her emotions get the better of her. Following her winning shot, the Brit dropped her racket and welled up in tears before wiping her face. And she then offered a handshake to Li. 'It feels incredible. I want to thank the crowd for getting me through some really sticky moments,' she said in her on-court interview. ''It really meant a lot to me, and I was so proud of how I kind of fought back after losing the first set. 'I mean, Ann was, you know, hitting winners all over the place, and it was obviously very windy. But I'm just very, very happy to have come through that today, so thank you. "It was tough, it was up and down, but from the middle of the second set I think I found another gear and a another level.' Speaking about her relationship with Mark Petchey, she added: "It's working really well, it was really nice to have a lot of support. It's going really well with Mark and I'm just looking forward to playing tomorrow." The 22-year-old will now take on Maya Joint for a place in the quarter-finals. Raducanu has a busy few months ahead as she attempts to rediscover her best form. Wimbledon 2025 is set to get underway later this month, with the draw taking place on Friday 27 June. Raducanu reached the last-16 last year. Following her Wimbledon commitments, Raducanu will then be back in action at the US Open and has already confirmed that she will be partnering up with current Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz in the mixed doubles. On her relationship with the Spaniard, she said: 'I've known him for years and actually in Wimbledon 2021 it was like kind of the first time I started getting to know him, and I had a good run there and then also again in the US Open in 2021. 'And I remember he was always playing the day before me and I was playing like the second day of the round. And I would see him win and then I would have motivation to win and get myself into that position too. 'And I remember he beat Stef [Tsitsipas] in the third round and it was like a big win, his breakout kind of win on a big stage and it was really cool to kind of, I guess, go through that tournament together and then I kept going through the US Open, but we were staying in touch for the whole time and yeah, it's nice.'
