The biggest check isn’t the biggest payout, because every viewer you lose comes back out of your sponsor deals.

Eighteen owners. Eighteen numbers.

The split is yours. We’ve set out what each club gets under any split, against what we think that owner needs to say yes. Those walk-away numbers are our read of the accounts and what’s been said in public. If we’ve got yours wrong, tell us. We found a split that gets you to 17, and it’s on these sliders.

What your members get

$983M a season, up from $704M

That’s the 46 percent player share of central money, about $2.18M per squad player against $1.56M now. It moves with every carve on the map.

  • No 12:30 kick-off within 68 hours of a midweek away match, written into the TV picks.
  • No overseas league round. We didn’t ask for one, and we won’t.
  • Tracking data only with your sign-off, and half of the $9M a season license goes straight to your members’ fund.

One Saturday, around the sun.

Your audience, a match week

$15.24B. Ten seasons. Guaranteed.

Paid in four installments a season, in the season, by Terracecast and backed by a parent guarantee. The guarantee doesn’t move if subscribers come in low. If they come in high, past 38 million, 12 percent of the revenue above that comes back to you.

What you can add or leave out.

We’d take the series and the data license, and we’d let you shop the women’s rights first. They’re worth more on their own than most people think.

What we won’t buy

The 38 of 306 home-market matches that stay on free television. Those aren’t for sale to anyone, and a bid that prices them is a bid your lawyers will have to unpick.

The terms, in plain words.

  1. Term. Ten seasons, August 2028 to May 2038. No automatic renewal, and no matching right for us.
  2. Money. Guaranteed, in four installments a season, starting at $1,293M and rising 3.6 percent a year.
  3. Security. A parent guarantee for the full term. If we miss an installment by 30 days, the rights come back to you.
  4. Free games. A free game of the week in every shared bloc. Partners keep their own ad sales on it.
  5. Reach floor. Sponsors pay less for fewer viewers at any level. Under 120 million a match week in any season, we also give them free inventory, at our cost.
  6. Schedule. The league sets kick-offs. We pick in the order agreed, inside the union’s rest rules.
  7. Data. Fans’ viewing data is shared with the league, by club, every month.

What we haven’t settled.

  • Greater China needs a licensed local partner, and we don’t have one signed. Our price holds, and the shared terms assume one by June 2027.
  • Two current deals run into the first season, in Japan and in the Nordics. We’ve priced them as ending on time, and we’d buy them out if not.
  • The union hasn’t agreed the tracking data license. If it doesn’t, that option falls away and nothing else moves.
