The UEFA Champions League is set to feature 36 teams this season, with each participating club set to receive an initial allocation of €18.62 million for qualifying for the main tournament. Additional revenue streams will supplement these funds, generated from the results within the main competition structure. For performance during the initial league stage, clubs will receive €2.1 million for securing a victory and €700,000 for achieving a draw.
The overall prize money distribution will be determined by a points-based system within the league standings. UEFA has structured the total prize fund into 666 parts. The distribution is weighted according to final placement: the champion will receive 36 parts, the runner-up will receive 35 parts, and this structure continues sequentially down to the team in last place, which will receive one part.
Each individual part is valued at €275,000. Furthermore, the top eight teams following the completion of the league stage are scheduled to receive an additional €2 million each. These financial incentives are designed to reward consistent high performance across all stages of the competition.
The structure aims to provide substantial financial rewards to the participating clubs throughout the entire league season.
