Premier League prize money table: The staggering amount Brighton, Crystal Palace, Newcastle, Leicester and West Ham are on track to earn

The Premier League is one of the most lucrative and recognised global brands in world sport.

Brighton have been competing in the top tier for five seasons now and this campaign Graham Potter has guided the team to their highest ever Premier League points total.

Albion currently have 44 points - surpassing their previous best of 41 - and have three matches left to play against Manchester United (h), Leeds United (a) and West Ham at home.

Potter's men are currently ninth in the table and are ahead of the likes of Crystal Palace and Newcastle.

Brighton operate on one of the smaller budgets in the top flight and Potter has previously said they have to make their pound notes work much harder than their rivals.

Any increase in prize money will be a huge bonus and will be a huge motivation for the club as they prepare for the final three matches of a tough campaign.

The prize money for the Premier League includes television and broadcasting revenue at the close of each season and the higher in the table they finish, the more money they receive.

The prize money is dived into five main categories of equal share, facilities, international TV rights, commercial revenue and merit share.

The merit payment is based on league position and this season Brighton are in for an increased payment due to their lofty position in the table.

But how does this compare to what they received previously and how does it compare with what their Premier League rivals will receive?
