How much prize money have Premier League teams earned in Europe?

While it is quite a drop from what Arsenal have earned this season, Europa League winners Aston Villa will have banked at least 52.6m euros (£45.6m) for winning Uefa’s second-tier club competition this season.

That pot does include what they have already guaranteed for qualifying for next season’s Champions League, among the prizes for the Europa League winner. However, Villa’s entry in the Champions League is as a direct result of their fourth-place finish in the Premier League.

Financial distribution across all three of Uefa’s club competitions are structured identically, with the main differences being in the amounts of money on offer.

For reaching the league phase of the Europa League, Villa were given 4.31m euros (£3.7m). They won seven of their eight matches in that round, earning 3.15m euros (£2.7m). They were given 600k euros (£520k) for a top-eight finish and a further 2.625m euros (£2.3m) for finishing second in the table.

Villa earned 1.75m euros (£1.5m) for reaching the last 16, 2.5m euros (£2.2m) for getting to the quarter-finals and an additional 4.2m euros (£3.6m) for getting into the semi-finals.

For beating Freiburg in the final in Istanbul, Villa received 13m euros (£11.3m).

Like the Champions League, there is also a value pillar for television money distribution. Villa were guaranteed 297,000 euros (£257,000) of that, although the top-end payment of 10.7m euros (£9.3m) or a total nearer to that is more likely.

It means that for the Europa League alone, Villa won 32.4m euros (£28.1m), rising to potentially nearer the 42.8m euros (£37.1m) mark.

But on top of that, Villa have already confirmed a further income of just under 20.2m euros (£17.5m) for reaching next season’s Champions League. That figure could be significantly more.

The 20.2m euros consists primarily of what is given out for qualifying for the league phase, as well as the minimum value pillar payment, and based on no league phase win or draw bonuses and a bottom place finish in the league table.

Because all of the above is unlikely, a high value pillar payment and a high league phase finish could increase payments to at least the 56m euros (£48.5m) before bonuses for wins, draws and reaching later rounds are included.
