Gunners set to receive their biggest ever cheque from the Premier League

Arsenal have ended 22 years of hurt by winning the Premier League title, and with it earning a huge financial windfall.

After three years finishing as runners-up, Mikel Arteta and his squad finally got over the line - and with one game to spare.

Arsenal face Crystal Palace on Sunday at Selhurst Park, where the players will be greeted onto the pitch with a guard of honour before the game, and captain Martin Odegaard will lift the Premier League trophy after the game.

The club will also receive their biggest ever cheque from the Premier League after finishing first.

How much prize money do Arsenal earn by winning Premier League title?

The Premier League confirm “as part of the money they receive from central payments, clubs earn money based on their final positions in the Premier League table, with these merit payments based on a sliding scale calculated according to where you finish, from 1st to 20th.

“Arsenal, for example, are set to receive 20 times the basic merit payment, while the club who finish second get 19 times, and so on.

Arsenal have also reportedly earned more than £120million from their run to the Champions League final, and winning in Budapest in 10 days’ time will increase that figure.
