How much money do clubs get for Nations League players?
Our Ask Me Anything team look at what clubs are paid for releasing players for Nations League appearances.
The UEFA Club Benefits Programme is set to distribute a total of €31.5 million ($35.7 million) to European soccer clubs participating in the 2024-25 Nations League season, according to UEFA's announcement. This is the inaugural payment under the programme's new cycle, a component of the agreement between UEFA and the European Football Clubs (EFC), which represents more than 800 clubs across Europe.
UEFA stated that the funds are allocated from a broader €104 million budget earmarked for clubs releasing players for the 2024-25 and 2026-27 Nations League tournaments and the qualifying competition for UEFA Euro 2028. The programme will benefit 611 clubs across all UEFA member associations, encompassing several amateur clubs. Among the recipients, German club RB Leipzig will receive the most substantial payout, amounting to approximately €353,000 for releasing 16 of its players.
Portugal emerged victorious over Spain in the 2025 final of the competition, while the 2026-27 edition commenced operations last week.
