Manchester United earned a record STG61 million ($A95 million) in Premier League television revenue this season en route to a 20th English soccer title.

Deposed champions Manchester City, who finished 11 points behind United, received STG58 million ($A91 million), according to figures released by the league on Tuesday.

Even finishing last was lucrative, with Queens Park Rangers returning to the second tier after earning almost STG40 million ($A62 million) from TV companies.

The cash paid by overseas broadcasters is split evenly between the 20 top-flight teams. Half of the domestic TV income is split evenly, a quarter is shared depending on where a club finishes, and the remaining 25 per cent is distributed depending on how often the team is broadcast live in Britain.

That meant fifth-placed Tottenham were fourth on the TV revenue standings with STG56 million ($A87.5 million), while third-placed Chelsea were fifth with STG55 million ($A86 million).

The Premier League is set to generate STG5.5 billion ($A8.6 billion) from broadcasters between 2013 and 2016 – STG2 billion ($A3.13 billion) more than the three-season deal that has just ended.

The champions could earn STG100 million ($A156.5 million) next season from broadcasters.
