Winning Europe, Winning Millions: What the Champions League Means for Club Wealth

The 2026 UEFA Champions League Final offered massive financial rewards in addition to European glory. After defeating Paris Saint-Germain defeated Arsenal 4–3 on penalties following a 1–1 draw in Budapest, PSG secured the tournament's top prize and added another major achievement to their growing legacy.

Main Financial Prizes

PSG earned €25 million for winning the final itself, on top of the €18.5 million already guaranteed for reaching the final. Their total earnings from the entire Champions League campaign are estimated to exceed €100 million when participation fees, performance bonuses, broadcasting revenue, and UEFA coefficient payments are included.

Several PSG players also collected major individual honors after the final:

• Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was named UEFA Champions League Player of the Season.
• Vitinha won the Player of the Match award in the final.
• Arda Güler of Real Madrid received the Revelation of the Season award.
