The Championship final has long been billed as the richest game in world football. That figure, which has been calculated by Deloitte and is spread over three years, could rise to £280m if either Aston Villa or Fulham manage to survive one season after reaching the top flight. The financial rewards on offer in Kiev are dwarfed by those at stake in north London.

Away from the glare and glitz of Europe’s most elite club competition, the Championship play-off final is arguably the most financially significant match in football, with a place in the Premier League at stake. A place in the Premier League brings a whole host of benefits. Each season Billions of pounds are distributed between the teams in England’s topflight. Winning the Championship play-off final and earning promotion to the Premier League is understood to be worth hundreds of millions of pounds, though this can vary season to season. A huge slice of the money comes from broadcasting revenue.

It is not the money received directly from coming out on top in the game, it is actually the future benefits that the successful club will receive that make this the 'richest game in football'. They revealed promotion will mean an increase in revenue of at least £135million over the next three seasons for the triumphant club. A lot of that money will come from TV and commercial payments for playing in the English top flight.
