The Champions League 2024/2025, which started on Tuesday, changed its format to 36 teams and, with this, its prize pool figures. There is a big increase compared to previous years’ prize pools.
Participation will be the highest paid so far, with 18.62 million euros compared to 15, although each victory will have a prize of 2.1 million and 700,000 of the same currency for a draw. This is because the prize for victory is divided into three, leaving one third for each team and one third for a common fund.
The club that comes in first place will earn 9.9 million euros, while the last-placed club will only earn 275,000.
The amount each team receives for advancing to the next round is 11 million euros (round of 16), 12.5 million (quarterfinals), 15 million (semi-finals), 18.5 million (finals), and the champion will receive 6.5 million in addition to the 4 million for having qualified for the European Super Cup.
For those who go further in the Champions League, the prize money could rise to 111 million euros..
The Europa League and the Conference League, meanwhile, grew financially from 100 million to 565 million, and from 50 million to 285 million, respectively.
