Paris Saint-Germain’s second consecutive Champions League trophy has conferred the added bonus of around €146million (£127m; $170m) in prize money, per calculations from The Athletic.Saturday evening’s penalty shootout victory earned Luis Enrique’s side a further €6.5m (£5.7m) in winnings on top of an estimated €139m (£121m; $162m) already snaffled up. And there is still more to come. Qualification for the Super Cup — they will face Aston Villa in Salzburg in August — gifts them a further €4m (£3.5m), and another €1m (£0.9m) on top if they win it. That €4m has not been included in the total detailed here.Beaten finalists Arsenal are projected to have earned €143m (£125m; $166.7m), a record haul for an English club.Such hefty earnings are especially welcome in Paris given the collapse of domestic TV rights in France. PSG’s third consecutive Ligue 1 title in 2024-25 generated just €38.5m (£32.4m) in domestic prize money, or over six times less than the sum Arsenal just banked for winning the Premier League. Domestic payouts in France’s top tier, which PSG won again recently, are expected to have dropped even further in 2025-26.PSG are handsomely backed by Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), who have bankrolled the club to the tune of billions since taking over in 2011, but higher prize money aids compliance with UEFA’s financial rules, which the club has run into trouble with in the past.As for the side they beat in Budapest on Saturday night, no Premier League side had previously earned over £300m in broadcast revenue in a single season. Yet Arsenal’s UEFA haul, alongside the near-£200m earned from winning this season’s Premier League, will see them tread new ground. Chelsea are expected to do the same by virtue of their Club World Cup success last year, but Arsenal’s TV income this season will be a new English club record.While PSG and Arsenal led the way, the 36 participants in this year’s Champions League have shared a €2.428billion (£2.113bn; £2.83bn) prize pot, with a further €30m (£26m) going to the seven clubs (€4.29m apiece) who lost out in last summer’s play-off round. It is the second year running UEFA has paid out nearly €2.5bn to Champions League teams, up from €2.0bn in the three seasons from 2021 to 2024.
