How much money is at stake in the Championship play-off final between Brentford and Swansea

Brentford and Swansea City are gearing up for today's Championship play-off final.

The Bees will be looking to atone for last year's disappointment when they were beaten by Fulham in the final.

As for Swansea, they're hoping to make a return to the top flight after a three-year absence. Not only is a place in Premier League at stake but victory would certainly keep the bean-counters happy.

The finances on offer seem to increase every year in this game but exactly how much is up for grabs for the winner?

Deloitte reported last year that an increase in revenue for the winning club can be between £135million to £265million, depending on whether instant relegation is avoided.

Official figures for the 2018/19 campaign showed that £2.4billion of broadcast revenue which was split equally between the 20 clubs, a rough total of £82.5m, wherever they finished.

Then comes merit payments for the final league position, with Huddersfield Town getting £1.9m and champions Manchester City taking home an extra £38.3m.

In addition, should relegation follow promotion, clubs are handed parachute payments to ease any financial worry, which drop over three years before ending.
