"The new Champions League format is extraordinarily lucrative - and it goes well beyond just the prize money that is available to the likes of Liverpool. By my calculations, Liverpool are on about £95m in prize money from the Champions League so far. That's made up of a flat participation fee, performance bonuses from the league phase, money for reaching the round-of-16, and UEFA's so-called 'value pillar', which distributes cash based on the value of your country's TV deal and your club coefficient."
"Should Liverpool win the showpiece in Hungary later this year, though, that total could end up rising closer to £300m. But beyond that, you've also had four matches at Anfield and at least one more guaranteed. Looking at the preliminary figures in the Deloitte Football Money League, we know Liverpool's matchday income was about £130m last season."
Liverpool has earned approximately £95m in Champions League prize money during the 2025/26 group phase, comprising participation fees, performance bonuses, round-of-16 qualification money, and UEFA's value pillar distribution based on TV deals and club coefficient. The new Champions League format provides substantial financial opportunities beyond traditional prize money. If Liverpool advances through the knockout stages and wins the final in Hungary, their total Champions League earnings could reach around £300m. This figure includes matchday income from hosting multiple home fixtures at Anfield, with Liverpool's historical matchday revenue averaging £130m annually.
