7.348% To Championship clubs in receipt of parachute payments
3.285% To Championship clubs not in receipt of parachute payments

Premier League’s “New Model”
An Extra £130m for EFL clubs.
The amount given to each EFL division is split along existing distribution percentages.
Parachute payments for relegated Premiership clubs.
No extra money for clubs in the National League divisions.

Note: While the total pot given to Championship sides is to remain the same, the percentage of that amount given to Parachute Payments clubs is still to be decided. So for modelling purposes the percentage of the broadcasting revenue given to those five clubs is the same (7.35% of the total broadcasting revenues).

Premier League’s “New Model”+
Raising the amount given to EFL clubs to 25% of the total broadcasting revenue (currently this figure is 11.67%).
Parachute payments for relegated Premiership clubs.
No extra money for clubs in the National League divisions.

Note: 25% is the amount the EFL are currently calling for

50% Championship
25% League One
13% League Two
6% National League
3% National League North
3% National League South

The Fairer Distribution Model +£130m

An extra £130m is given to the six divisions immediately below the Premier League and distributed according to the “Fairer Distribution Model” (taking the total pot distributed to the six to £505m)

The Fairer Distribution Model +25%
Abolition of parachute payments.
Raising the amount given to the six divisions directly below the Premier League to 25% of the total broadcasting revenue (currently this figure is 11.758%). This leaves £798m to be distributed between the six according to the “Fairer Distribution Model”

The Fair Game Model
Abolition of parachute payments.
Raising the amount given to the six divisions directly below the Premier League to 25% of the total broadcasting revenue.
Introduction of the Solidarity Levy – a key recommendation of the Fan-Led Review chaired by the former Conservative Sports Minister Tracey Crouch and published in November 2021.
The levy is a 10% stamp duty on transfers between Premier League clubs, and Premier League clubs and overseas clubs. If the levy had been in existence, it would have raised £278m over the last 12 months.
This gives a total pot of £1076m which would be distributed to the six divisions below the Premier League according to the percentages outlined in the “Fairer Distribution Model”.
