EFL Cup prize money structure differs from FA Cup and Champions League

The BBC explains the prize money distribution for the EFL Cup, highlighting that winners receive £100,000. Unlike more traditional tournaments, the EFL Cup primarily generates revenue through gate receipts and facility fees, offering an equal split of ticket sales to clubs. This can particularly benefit lower league teams when matched with larger stadiums. The competition is worth around £110 million annually to the EFL, with around £70 million allocated to EFL clubs as central payments. Manchester City won the EFL Cup final earlier this year by defeating Arsenal at Wembley.
