The Premier League prize money is set to be delivered to each club at the end of the season, with Champions Arsenal set for a major amount.
Of course, the European places are still undecided, with plenty to play for between Brighton, Chelsea, Brentford and Sunderland, who occupy 7th to 10th positions.
Moving up and down a single spot, is worth £2.6million per place, according to estimations from last season's Premier League.
However, that single figure is almost guaranteed to change, due to the likes of inflation in the past year.
So how much prize money does each team earn? JOE finds out.
The Premier League has confirmed: "as part of the money they receive from central payments, clubs earn money based on their final positions in the Premier League table, with these merit payments based on a sliding scale calculated according to where you finish, from 1st to 20th.
“Arsenal, for example, are set to receive 20 times the basic merit payment, while the club who finish second get 19 times, and so on.
“Last season, each place was worth approximately an additional £2.6m, with champions Liverpool earning £53.1m, while bottom club Southampton received £2.6m.”
Domestic and international broadcast revenues are divided equally between the 20 teams.
The final totals are not set to be confirmed until July 2026, though Man United are expected to take £165.5m for finishing 3rd place in the league.
If Liverpool hold onto fifth place in the league too, they will pocket £160.2m.
Chelsea currently sit in 8th, which is worth £145.1m.
As for the final 18th-placed relegated position, which is between Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United, the total reduces to around £116.9m.
The top 3 are already set in stone, with Arsenal, Man City and Man United making up the first Champions League spots.
Aston Villa can finish fourth or fifth, with Liverpool potentially ending in fourth, fifth or sixth.
Bournemouth, who have enjoyed a seriously good season under the departing Andoni Iraola, could finish fifth, sixth or seventh.
Fabian Hurzeler's European hopefuls Brighton could finish in sixth, seventh and ninth.
Chelsea, who travel to the fortress Stadium of Light, can finish seventh, eighth or even as low as 12th in the table, should they lose and results go against their way.
Every potential permutation can be seen in the tweet below:
