West Ham’s likely TV prize money revealed

|

With West Ham likely to finish in their current eleventh place it is now possible to calculate the Premier League TV money they will receive this season.

Each Premier League club automatically gets an equal share from the TV rights fund worth £84.4m each.

The remaining funds are split between merit payments based on your final league position and facility fees based on how many games are broadcast live on UK TV by Sky and BT Sports.

The Hammers have had more games broadcast live this season and by the end of April, they will total 17 matches bringing in a further £20.8m.

An eleventh place finish will earn a merit payment of £19.2m meaning West Ham are likely to earn £124.4m this season.

Last season West Ham earned £118.6m based on a 13th place finish and 15 games live on UK TV so it is an improvement of £5.8m.

Should West Ham finish 10th the total will increase to £126.3m  ninth would total £128.2m eighth would earn  £130.1m with seventh place earning £132m.
