Who has the biggest TV revenue in the Spanish championship?

The clubs of La Liga, considered Spain’s top football championship, earned €1.351 billion from broadcasting rights. This large amount is distributed among the clubs through a special system, which results in some clubs receiving significantly more revenue than others.

According to the rules, 50% of the total income — €675.5 million — is distributed equally among all 20 clubs. That means €33.77 million for each club. The other half is divided based on each club’s performance in the season and its popularity among fans.

25% of this second half is based on the club’s position in the league standings. The champion receives the highest bonus. The remaining 25% is divided based on ticket sales, stadium attendance, season ticket sales, and TV audience size.

Also, clubs that qualify for European competitions during the season receive additional bonuses. This allows big clubs to earn even more money.

According to this season’s results, the club that earned the most income was Barcelona from Catalonia. The Blaugrana brought in a record €109.8 million from TV rights. Their strong performance in the standings, high stadium attendance, and worldwide viewership played a key role.

Second place went to Barcelona’s fierce rival — Real Madrid. The royal club earned €103 million from broadcast sales. This is a very high number, though almost €7 million less than Barcelona.

Real’s second place is influenced by its league position, European success, and massive global fan base. Madrid is consistently one of the world’s most-watched teams.

This system is also very important for small and mid-level clubs. By gaining fan interest and ticket sales, they too can earn decent sums. For example, clubs that didn’t compete for the title but had strong fan engagement earned large bonuses.

However, there are drawbacks to this system. Clubs at the bottom of the table receive significantly less money, which negatively affects their chances in the following seasons.

Still, the system demands that all clubs strive for high results and increases the importance of every match.

This model helps La Liga remain one of the world’s most popular football leagues. The importance of every match and the direct financial impact on clubs makes the league more competitive and entertaining.

Overall, in this season La Liga clubs earned €1.351 billion from broadcasting — a significant increase compared to previous years. This provides clubs with opportunities to invest in transfers, infrastructure, youth academies, and more.

With revenue from TV rights, the financial health of clubs improves, giving Spanish teams a better chance to succeed at the European level in the future.

Thus, La Liga’s season results are significant not only on the pitch but also financially for all clubs.
