SPFL prize pot reaches £25m

The SPFL has announced that £25 million in league prize money will be paid to its 42 member clubs this season. 

League prize money is paid in addition to parachute payments, UEFA solidarity, Betfred Cup prize and TV money, IRN-BRU Cup prize and travel money, and clubs' match accounts from cup games at neutral venues.  Season 2018/19 will see record amounts of Betfred Cup prize and TV money (£2,110,000), IRN-BRU Cup prize money (£428,990) and parachute payments paid to clubs.

Neil Doncaster, SPFL chief executive, said: “This season’s fee payments demonstrate the continued growth of the game in Scotland and reflect the huge strides that have been made by the SPFL and its member clubs alike.

“The SPFL remains committed to growing our game in the financial interests of all 42 member clubs. Our recently announced long-term broadcast contracts with Sky Sports, Premier Sports, BBC Scotland and MG ALBA from 2020 put the SPFL in a strong and confident position for the future.”
