La Liga Price Money: The Campeonato Nacional de Liga de Primera División,  popularly known as La Liga (La Liga Santander for sponsorship reasons with Santander), is the men’s top professional football division of the Spanish football league system.

Managed by the Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional (English: National Professional Football League), also known as the Liga de Fútbol Profesional (LFP), La Liga is contested by 20 teams, with the three lowest-placed teams at the end of each season relegated to the Segunda División and replaced by the top three teams in that division.

La Liga Price Money Update from Forbes

The final numbers are in for the 2017/18 season and Barcelona pocketed €154M ($176M) and Real Madrid €148M ($169M) from a total TV pool of €1.33B ($1.52B).

It was a record for both teams but the wealth was spread throughout the league. Sixteen other teams also received record payouts with only Valencia and Malaga failing to beat their previous highs.  Even then, the differences were minuscule – Valencia missed by €1M and Malaga by €2M.

Rights fees distributed to La Liga teams have grown by more than 80% since 2013/14 (€734M), the last season before a form of a centralized model of selling was adopted.

A centralized model was legislated by a 2015 Royal decree and required implementation for the 2016/17 season. 2015/16 saw a hybrid model implemented as a stepping stone to full implementation.

Prior to the decree, La Liga teams sold rights on an individual basis. Barcelona and Real Madrid siphoned off a large percentage of the rights (combo of 38% in 2014/15). This percentage has now dropped to 23%. However, the pie has grown larger and so Barcelona and Real Madrid are banking more money than ever before.

As part of the transition to centralized selling Barcelona and Real Madrid were guaranteed that neither team would receive less than they did through the old system. Both teams have now exceeded the grandfathered amounts.

The centralized model has been a great success. Teams finishing at the bottom end of La Liga are receiving over €40M each – in 2014/15 it was closer to €18M.

Teams finishing higher in the table have also benefited greatly. Atletico Madrid (€111M up from €42M, +163%) and Sevilla (€74M up from €35, +111%) are two prime examples.

The distribution is based on several aspects and different leagues assign different weights to such factors as finishing position, performance over several seasons, attendance and others.

Based on the 2017/18 distribution, the ratio between the highest earning team and the lowest earning team in La Liga is 1:3.6. Serie A is generally at the higher end of the scale – around 1:4.5 while Ligue 1 is usually close to La Liga’s ratio.

The Bundesliga ratio has run at around 1:3.4 while the Premier League ratio of 1:1.6 makes the English top flight the most equitable by far.

The Premier League continues to outstrip the other leagues as far as revenue generation is concerned. In 2017/18, the Premier League distributed more than double the La Liga amount – €2.7B ($3.1B).

The top-earning team, Manchester United, received €167.8M ($191m) while West Brom, the bottom team banked €106M ($120.9M).

Both leagues are now in the final year of three-year rights deals and a new cycle starts with the 2019/20 season. The Premier League’s domestic TV rights for 2019/20 are close to par with present earnings while the final value for overseas rights has still to be announced.

La Liga is expecting an increase in rights fees of around 20% starting in 2019/20.
