So, we now know after winning the Europa League Final, Tottenham will also have the added prize of a lucrative UCL place for next season – but just what is the Champions League prize money breakdown and what can Spurs expect to bank for the 2025\/26 campaign in Europe’s prestige football competition?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Champions League Prize Money 2026: Tottenham Will Get \u00a315.7m Just For Turning Up<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You can see the full 2025\/26 Champions League prize money breakdown for what each side – including Tottenham – can expect to get during the tournament.<\/p>\n

This cash injection starts with a staggering \u00a315.7m just for qualifying – which, of course, they secured by beating fellow Premier League side Manchester United in the 2025 Europa League Final.<\/p>\n

For winning this, Spurs have also set up a UEFA Super Cup<\/a> clash with the Champions League winners on August 13th – but once the dust has settled on that match and the Europa League Tottenham trophy parade<\/a>, their attention will turn to the 2025\/26 Champions League.<\/p>\n

In additions to the \u00a315.7m for just turning up – the good news for Spurs fans and their owner Daniel Levy is there is bucket loads more cash to hoover up over the tournament.<\/p>\n

You can see the rest of the 2026 Champions League prize money breakdown below – that include teams netting a cool \u00a31.77m for EVERY league phase win.<\/p>\n

With eight league phase games – should Tottenham win ALL of these games (yes, I know that’s unlikely)<\/em> they would add a further \u00a314.16m to their bank balance.<\/p>\n

Teams even get \u00a3590,000 just for drawing a league phase match – so you can see why teams getting into the Champions League is the ‘golden goose’<\/em> of football.<\/p>\n
