So I read recently that last year, every single team in the EPL was in the black. That's very impressive.



However, when you look at revenue, the disparity between the top clubs and the rest (aka the top 6 and the rest) is a little more pronounced.



I haven't looked into the particulars of the EPL's tv arrangement, but it appears that while it isn't split 100% evenly, it's pretty close. So what are the other sources of revenue that help propel the big 6 past the others?

The first things that came to mind were sponsorships, actual jersey sales, Champions League/Europa League money, stadium ticket sales (assuming there are more pricey boxes and just more seats for the big teams), and pre-season tours. What am I missing?

Also, does anyone have info that breaks down the sources of revenue for a big team by percentage. I don't know if anything beyond Champions League money is super easy to trace.

actually the base tv money is split equally

then clubs get more money for each time they are on sky and bt

United and Liverpool usually get the most appearances. City bc of an amazing season was on a ton as well

Then of course the higher in the league you finish the more you make. Much more than the UCL.

Also Arsenal is so high bc of their match day revenue is boosted by insane ticket prices

I considered NBC Gold at the start of the year last year and was glad I passed on it. City only had one match that was locked behind the wall

I just found this breakdown

Facility fee is their strange way of saying TV Appearance money.

Expect that to get even worse with Stan Kroenke taking majority ownership
