For the 2024/25 season, the German Football League (DFL) will distribute a total of 1.225 billion euros from national TV revenues to the 36 clubs in the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga. 80 percent of this (964.783 million euros) will go to the clubs in the top division, 20 percent (260.216 million euros) will go to the teams in the 2nd division.
Die Sports picture now wants to know the exact figures from the DFL and breaks down how much TV money each club receives. The DFL uses the familiar four-pillar system. Each club receives 50 percent of the same income, 43 percent is distributed according to the clubs’ performance, a further four percent is allocated according to youth development, and three percent is distributed according to interest in the clubs.
In addition to the national TV money, there is also income from international marketing. This TV money is distributed according to a different key.
The extent of the TV money gap in the Bundesliga alone is shown by the fact that Bayern, in first place in the ranking, receive over 41 million euros more than newly promoted Holstein Kiel, which receives the least TV money from the Bundesliga. Compared to the top clubs in the 2nd division, Kiel receive only a little more. In the lower house, 1. FC Köln, Hertha BSC and Schalke 04 are ahead. The top three each receive over 20 million euros. Leaders Köln receive over 28.2 million euros. Second division newly promoted SSV Ulm, in last place in the 2nd division, receives just over a tenth of FC Bayern’s TV sum at 7.85 million euros. The gap is therefore quite large even within the 2nd division.
