The Premier League have announced its UK broadcast, international TV and commercial revenue payments to clubs for 2018-19, with Liverpool leading the way having banked a cool £152.4million.
Jurgen Klopp’s men took home more than champions Manchester City, having been televised three times more on UK television than Pep Guardiola’s back-to-back title winners.
The Reds were the most televised team in the Premier League domestically, appearing 29 times.
City, who appeared on UK television in 26 of their 38 league fixtures, took home a total payment of £150.97million.
No team banked in excess of £150million the previous year.
Chelsea, who finished third, received a total £146million, £800,000 more than fourth-place Spurs; Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
Manchester United , who appeared on UK TV 27 times over the course of the season - more than anyone except Liverpool - took home a total payment of £142.5million.
At the opposite end of the scale, relegated Huddersfield Town were the only club not to hit the £100million mark.
The Terriers, who return to the Championship after a two-year stay in the top flight, pocketed £96.6million.
That figure is substantially higher than the £57.94million earned this year by Spanish side Valencia, despite them booking a Champions League spot with a fourth-place finish in La Liga.
Relegated Fulham and Cardiff claimed £101.9million and £102.7million respectively.
Interestingly, the Premier League claim that all clubs reached the agreed upon 10 matches live on UK TV threshold.
However, whether via Sky Sports or BT Sport, Huddersfield, Bournemouth and Southampton were all only shown eight times live across the campaign.
All three took home the minimum 'Facility fees' of £12.2million for live TV games, despite featuring on fewer than 10 occasions; that figure rises by an extra £1.12million for every extra TV game.
