Arsenal are poised to receive a huge financial boost after ending their 22-year wait for the Premier League title. According to a report by Metro Sport on Sunday, May 24, 2026, the North London club are expected to pocket more than £50 million in merit payments once the Premier League confirms its official financial distributions this summer.
Under manager Mikel Arteta, Arsenal successfully held off Manchester City in a dramatic title race, securing top spot after City dropped crucial points late in the season.
Premier League prize money is calculated through multiple revenue streams, including equal share payments, commercial income, merit-based rewards tied to league position, and facility fees from televised matches.
Recent figures suggest Arsenal’s earnings could rival those of previous champions. Manchester City received £56.4 million in merit payments after winning the 2023/24 title, while Liverpool earned £53.1 million last season. Overall, Liverpool pocketed £174.9 million from their championship campaign, with City previously receiving £175.9 million.
Television coverage also plays a major role in determining payouts. Liverpool topped last season’s facility fee rankings with £24.9 million from live UK broadcasts, while Arsenal earned £24.2 million after 29 of their league matches were shown live. Manchester United, despite finishing 15th, still generated £23.4 million from televised fixtures.
Arsenal’s sustained title push ensured regular broadcast exposure throughout the season, significantly increasing the club’s final earnings. The expected financial windfall highlights the Premier League’s enormous global commercial value, with clubs across the table benefiting from its lucrative revenue-sharing model.
