Effy.- International income from Premier League television rights will be greater than domestic income, for the first time in history, as of the 2022-2023 season.
International networks will pay £5.3 billion ($7.2 billion) for the rights to broadcast the English Premier League between 2022 and 2025, while British networks will offer £5 billion ($6.79 billion) to broadcast matches in the United Kingdom in the same period.
This represents an increase in international rights by 30% compared to what was agreed upon between 2019 and 2022.
In total, between international and domestic, clubs and the league will earn 10.3 billion pounds ($14.586 million), an increase of 16% compared to the previous period.
The return of fans to stadiums, coupled with the strength of the league, whose teams have competed fully in two of the last three Champions League finals, as well as one of the Europa League, has caused television rights to continue to increase in value in recent years.

The multiculturalism of English Premier League stars has also contributed to their internationalisation, including, among others, examples of Sadio Mane, from Senegal; Mohamed Salah from Egypt; Raul Jimenez, from Mexico; Christian Pulisic from the United States; Hwang Hee Chan and Heung Min Son from South Korea; The most recent case is Luis Diaz, from Colombia.
With this new impetus, the Premier League cements itself as the tournament with the highest international income, far ahead of La Liga, which, according to a report by consultancy KPMG, receives $5,000 million from abroad.
Much later comes the German League, which barely exceeds $1.13 billion; Serie A, which earns less than $683 million; And the French League, which will receive 546 million euros between 2018 and 2024 for broadcasting from outside its borders.
As for the Premier League teams, the champion of next season will receive $239 million for the title, instead of the current $207 million, while the last-placed team will receive $143 million, instead of the current $131 million.
The more modest clubs in the English football pyramid will also benefit from this increase in rights, as teams in the English Football League (EFL, its acronym in English), which includes the second division to the fifth division, will receive $ 2.160 million. Between 2022 and 2025.
