The 2025 UEFA Champions League final is set: Paris Saint-Germain will face Inter Milan in a battle for Europe’s most prestigious football trophy. But beyond the glory and the iconic “Big Ears” trophy, the winner will also receive a massive financial reward that can significantly impact the club’s future.

From group stage earnings to the final prize, Champions League revenue plays a key role in the financial planning of Europe’s top teams.

How much does the winner of the final earn?

The club that wins the final in this edition will receive a €25 million prize just for winning the match in Berlin. This amount is exclusive to the title win and does not include earnings from previous rounds.

Total earnings through the tournament

Clubs have earned millions throughout the 2024/25 Champions League based on their results. Here's a breakdown of UEFA's performance-based rewards:

• €2.1M per group stage win
• €700K per draw
• €12.5M for reaching the Round of 16
• €15M for advancing to the Quarterfinals
• €18.5M for reaching the Semifinals
• €25M for winning the Champions League

To this, clubs add income from the market pool, UEFA coefficient rankings, and TV rights, making it possible for the champion to surpass €100 million in total earnings.

What comes next for the champion?

The winner between PSG and Inter won’t just lift the trophy. They’ll also qualify for:

• The 2025 UEFA Super Cup, against the Europa League winner
• The Intercontinental Cup, facing the Copa Libertadores champion
• The 2029 FIFA Club World Cup, where only elite clubs from each continent will compete

What does the runner-up receive?

The runner-up also walks away with a hefty sum: €15 million for reaching the final, plus all earnings from previous rounds. Depending on their path, that figure can climb above €80 million.

Whether for prestige, prize money, or future opportunities, winning the Champions League continues to be the ultimate dream — and payday — in club football.
