Barcelona does not receive a direct and specific financial reward for winning the Spanish league title, but in return it guarantees one of the biggest and most important economic payments in all of Spanish football.
Winning the title translates directly into a huge increase in revenue, especially through the distribution of television broadcasting rights, as the first-place finisher receives the largest financial compensation among all clubs.
60 million euros
Thanks to its position at the top of the table, Barcelona receives the highest possible percentage of funds allocated to sports activities, 17% of the total amount allocated.
This means that the coffers of the Catalan club will enter the coffers of 57 to 60 million euros just because they won the championship, that is, several million more expensive than the runner-up.
The financial gap with the runners-up is usually between €6 and €7 million, which is a very significant gap in relation to the salary cap and the budget of the summer transfer market.
Total TV revenue
The rest of the various television broadcasting revenues add to this huge amount.
Considering the fixed share that all clubs receive equally, in addition to the distribution related to public popularity and fan base, of which Barcelona is also one of the biggest beneficiaries due to its huge popularity, the total TV revenue easily exceeds the barrier of 100 million euros per season.
The full economic impact
The real economic impact of the title does not stop there.
In general and comprehensive terms, the tournament could put the Catalan club’s revenues in a wide range of 60 to 90 million euros, directly related to the Spanish league alone.
18 million euros from the beginning
In addition, winning the Spanish league guarantees direct qualification to the Champions League, adding an important and vital source of income.
Simply participating in the most important continental tournament guarantees Barcelona at least 18 million euros, to which bonuses for victories in the group stage and passage to the next qualifying rounds are added.
If we reach the advanced stages, the revenue from the Champions League alone could exceed 50 million euros or more.
The real trophy is measured in millions
After all, Barcelona won’t receive a specific and immediate “prize” for winning the Spanish league, but the crowning allows them to achieve much higher revenues than all their rivals.
It also greatly increases his available salary cap, enables him to compete strongly in the transfer market and enter the future with a clear economic advantage over the rest of the clubs.
