A combination of prize money, ticket sales, merchandise sales and other income help to bring cash into footy clubs.

Some stadiums are used for other purposes, such as music concerts and hosting other sports.

For example, Tottenham Hotspur’s stadium hosted the Beyonce in 2023, plus two NFL American football games.

Clubs also earn huge sums of money from selling the rights to show thier football matches on TV.

When a club plays in multiple competitions, for example the Champions League or Europa League, they are likely to make more money from the sale of tickets to fans and games being shown on live TV more often.

Plus, premium fan experiences in hospitality suites, where people are served lavish meals, are also big money makers, so clubs with state of the art stadiums are more likely to earn the big bucks!
