Liverpool Football Club’s triumph in the 2024/25 Premier League season has delivered more than just silverware, it’s also brought a windfall of financial rewards.
As celebrations continue across Merseyside this Bank Holiday weekend, the title parade through Liverpool is drawing crowds of up to a million fans along a 15-kilometer route. But while the scenes at Anfield are euphoric, the financial impact of the club’s league success is equally impressive.
Liverpool FC have secured a record-equalling £56.4 million (approx. $71.9 million) in merit payments from the Premier League for finishing in first place, according to The Mirror.
Liverpool’s Premier League earnings could hit over $230 million
However, the total payout goes far beyond merit money. The Athletic projects Liverpool’s overall Premier League earnings for the season will reach a staggering £181.5 million (approx. $231.3 million).
This figure includes their merit reward, broadcast-related facility fees, and equal share distributions from domestic and international TV rights and commercial income. Should that projection hold, it would surpass the current record of £176.2 million (approx. $224.5 million) set by Manchester City.
A significant portion of this revenue stems from Liverpool’s exceptional visibility on television. The club featured in 30 live UK broadcasts, more than any other team this season. That prominence helped them secure an estimated £26 million (approx. $33.1 million) in facility fees. On top of that, the club is expected to receive around £95 million (approx. $121 million) in equal share payments tied to league-wide TV deals and commercial revenues.
Altogether, Liverpool’s 2024/25 Premier League campaign has delivered not only a title for the fans, but also a financial injection that sets the club up for a potentially transformative summer. Finbold had reported earlier how LeBron James’ $6.5 million Liverpool investment is now worth ~$129.5 million after converting to a 1% FSG stake.
