CL Revenue Distribution

[amirbachar]

In Poland, CL rights will be taken over by Canal+. Unofficial value is less than 100m EUR. Unfortunately no precise amount here, and I'm not sure how to rank us in the list. And if you want a source, it's from a video on YouTube in Polish, so I don't know if it helps.

The EL/ECL deal is not officially done yet, but allegedly will be closed by Polsat, which has CL rights in the current cycle. No information on any amounts here.

If the UCL deal is about € 30m per year. My estimate is that Poland is placed between Denmark and Switzerland. I don't know how they are ranked when including Czech Republic, Greece and Israel. But between Denmark and Switzerland is my best asumption for now. Very difficult to know of course.

Israel amount was 18M$/year at its peak 2018-21 when a new company tried to buy the rights, it should be less now.

That is noted. So Israel are definitely below all of these:

England
France
Germany
Spain
Italy
Sweden
Norway
Scotland
Austria
Netherlands
Türkiye
Denmark
Poland
Switzerland

Probably below a bunch of other countries too, but I lack figures on them.

Norwegian TV2 just announced that they have the rights for the next cycle (UCL). Nothing more is known.

Atlético Madrid finished bottom of its group with 5 points, and Club Brugge advanced from that group with 11 points. Yet Atlético Madrid still got a prize almost 18M€ higher than Club Brugge's.

Well done UEFA! No wonder that this year Atlético is playing the CL quarters while Club Brugge couldn't even qualify! With UEFA diverting Club Brugge's money into Atlético's pockets it's nearly inevitable!

At a smaller scale, we also had Marseille finishing bottom of its group with 6 points, Eintracht Frankfut advancing from that group with 10 points, and Marseille still getting a higher prize.


In EL, quarterfinalist Saint-Gilloise got a smaller prize than Malmo, the team that finished bottom of their group losing every match!!

And somehow Olympiakos, despite finishing bottom of their group without a single win, still got a bigger prize than Nantes, a team that progressed from that group!

In Conference League, FC Koln got a bigger prize than Partizan despite being eliminated from a group where Partizan advanced.


These are some of the "nuggets" that we can find in UEFA's 2022/2023 revenue distribution.
