Revealed: How much Newcastle banked from 2018-19 Premier League payments

Newcastle United have banked just over £120million in Premier League payments for the 2018/19 season.

The Magpies earned just under £35million of the equal share pot on offer from the top flight while finishing 13th helped bank around £15.3million.

It means the 4-0 win over Fulham on the final day of the season - which allowed United to leapfrog AFC Bournemouth - picked up a near £2millon.

The League's central revenues are distributed to clubs in the following manner:

  • UK broadcast revenues: 50 per cent equally shared; 25 per cent shared based on how often a club’s matches are broadcast in the UK (known as "Facility Fees"); and 25 per cent shared based on where a club finish in the league table (known as "Merit Payments")
  • Central Commercial revenues: Equally shared by clubs
  • International broadcasting revenues: Equally shared by clubs

The League also supports the EFL with more than £100m per season of Solidarity Payments and ring-fenced Youth Development grants.
