Spanish La Liga has agreed to a new collective TV rights agreement that will take effect in the 2021–2022 season for Spanish Division 1. The allocation of La Liga TV and central sponsorship money will be far more balanced in 2022–2023 than it was in prior seasons.
Each of the 20 teams receives an equal amount of money under the terms of the La Liga TV rights agreement. All the participating clubs split the remaining half of the TV rights equally. The remaining half of the money is split into further two halves. The first component is known as social implantation, while the second is based on the points table rankings of the clubs.
● 50% to be divided between all clubs
● 25% social implantation
● 25% based on standings
