Liverpool earned more money than any other Premier League side for the 2018-19 season despite losing out to Manchester City in the title race.

The Reds banked £152.5million compared to City's £151m as Jurgen Klopp's side were more popular with broadcasters.

Matches involving Liverpool were shown live 29 times by Sky Sports and BT Sport — two more than any other club.

Liverpool banked more money from the Premier League than any other side

It is therefore no surprise that Jurgen Klopp's runners-up have filled the coffers with higher prize money than any other side in England's top flight.

Clubs are guaranteed a minimum of £12.5m for TV games with an extra £1.2m per live match when shown more than 10 times.

Manchester United's disappointing sixth place finish was reflected in their inferior payment of £142.5m.

Huddersfield received the lowest amount, but take £96.5m back with them to the Championship that will inevitably help fund next season's promotion bid.

The Premier League's gargantuan broadcast deal is the most lucrative in Europe and helps clubs acquire top talent from the continent.

It distributes broadcast revenues with 50 per cent equally shared and 25 per cent depending on how frequently a team is shown on television with the other 25 per cent dependent on the final table position. International broadcasting revenues are shared equally among the 20 clubs.

This was another bumper year for the Premier League and the two-horse race between City and Liverpool captured the attention of fans globally.

With attention on the tussle captured until City sealed victory on the final day, there was a 12 per cent increase in viewing figures for Sky Sports and BT Sport also had its best ever season.

Match of the Day, drew its highest individual programme audience since 2016 and incredibly about 70 per cent of the UK population watched the Premier League this season.
