How much prize money
Revenues for English Football League clubs are
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.

I querried ChatGPT the following question: How much prize money will be paid to teams in the EFL Championship for 2024-2025 season?

📺 Television Revenue - Championship clubs benefit from television revenue, which includes (As per Interesting Football):
Solidarity payments: Approximately £4.5 million per club, derived from the Premier League's TV deal. EFL TV deal share: Around £2.5 million per club.
Broadcast appearance fees: Approximately £100,000 per televised match.
In total, a Championship club can expect between £7 million and £8 million from TV revenues.
🪂 Parachute Payments - Clubs relegated from the Premier League receive parachute payments to mitigate the financial impact: (per: The Sun, Interesting Football, Edudwar)
First season: 55% of the Premier League's equal share of broadcasting revenue; Second season: 45%; Third season: 20% (if the club spent more than one season in the Premier League). - Interesting Football, Edudwar, Wikipedia, Interesting Football, Sporting News
These payments can amount to approximately £40 million in the first year.
🤝 Solidarity Payments
Clubs not receiving parachute payments are eligible for solidarity payments, calculated as a percentage of the third-year parachute payment as per Wikipedia, Edudwar, & Interesting Football:
Championship clubs: 30% of the third-year parachute payment.
League One clubs: 4.5%.

💰 Play-off Final Windfall
The Championship play-off final is often dubbed "the richest game in football" due to the financial benefits of promotion as per Wikipedia, Sporting News, Interesting Football:
Winning the play-off final can be worth up to £265 million over three seasons, factoring in increased revenues from TV rights, sponsorships, and other Premier League-related income as per Wikipedia & Sporting News
In summary, while direct prize money in the EFL Championship is relatively modest, clubs rely heavily on television revenues, parachute payments, and the substantial financial rewards associated with promotion to the Premier League |  | | |

My opinion, if a club is getting parachute payments then it shouldn't get any funding from the EFL, they already have a massive advantage with the EPL money and then they get EFL money too. it's unfair on most of theChampionship, 3 clubs getting much more money. | | | |
