Premier League clubs have agreed new revenue-sharing for international broadcasts that will see the top clubs potentially earn more.
The clubs will continue to share current levels of international revenue equally, but any increase from 2019-20 will be distributed based on where each team finishes in the top flight.
However, total broadcast revenues will be capped at 1.8 times the amount earned by the bottom team – a rise on last season, which was 1.6 times. Additional income will be shared so that the 1.8 cap is maintained.
Premier League Executive Chairman Richard Scudamore said: “When the Premier League was formed in 1992 nobody could have envisaged the scale of international growth in the competition which exists now.
“Back then the clubs put in place a revenue sharing system that was right for the time and has served the league well, enabling them to invest and improve in all areas.
“This new agreement will continue that trend with a subtle change that further incentivises on-pitch achievement and maintains the Premier League’s position as the most equitable in Europe in terms of sharing central revenues.
