Tottenham miss out on £8.4m as final day Premier League collapse proves costly

Tottenham Hotspur could have banked a potential extra £8.4 million on the final day of the Premier League season, but their second-half collapse proved costly in more ways than one.

Tottenham Hotspur’s 2024/25 season will be remembered as the campaign where the club finally ended its 17-year wait for silverware and ended a 41-year drought in European competition.

However, while their European exploits brought joy to the fanbase, the domestic campaign painted a far bleaker picture, with Tottenham finishing the season in 17th place after losing 22 of their 38 Premier League games.

Sunday’s final league clash summed up much of their season, as Ange Postecoglou’s men led Brighton and Hove Albion at half-time – but they capitulated in the second half, conceding four goals at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in what was a woeful end to their league campaign.

Tottenham miss out on £8.4m Premier League prize money after final day defeat

It has now been revealed by football.london that Tottenham missed out on £8.4 million on the final day of the Premier League season.

Ahead of the clash against Brighton on Sunday, Spurs were well aware that a victory, combined with favourable results elsewhere, could lift them three places up the table to 14th.

That scenario looked on course for around half an hour, as Tottenham led and other scores across the league worked in their favour.

But the second-half collapse meant not only another defeat but also that their rivals around them picked up results, confirming a 17th-place finish regardless of what they did.

According to football.london, every Premier League position is worth between £2 million and £3 million in prize money, with last season’s figure averaging around £2.8 million per place.

By finishing 17th instead of 14th, Spurs effectively missed out on approximately £8.4 million in final league standings revenue based on the previous season’s financial model.

Europa League run cushions financial Premier League blow for Spurs

While Tottenham have missed out on £8.4 million in Premier League prize money, their deep run in the Europa League has more than compensated for that domestic shortfall.

It was revealed just days ago that Tottenham’s journey from the League phase all the way to the Europa League final has earned the club £38.7 million.

In addition, Spurs are also expected to bank a further £3.4 million for their participation in the UEFA Super Cup, where they will go head-to-head with either Inter Milan or Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.
