The PremierLeague's impact has increased over time, including a 50%increase in tax contributions since 2013/14.In a typical season, Premier League clubs have over halfa million season ticket holders and the highest stadiumoccupancy rate across Europe. Each season, 43 million peoplewatch the Premier League on TV in the UK alone. 7.6bn 3.6bnValue added to UKeconomy in 2019/20(GVA contribution)1Tax contribution in2019/2094,000840%Jobs supported in2019/20Growth in economiccontribution since1998/99 seasonThe Premier League and its clubs’ 1.6 billion investmentin the Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP) from 2012/13to 2020/21 has benefitted over 90 clubs’ Academies acrossthe football pyramid.3 The strength of the Premier League’sapproach to homegrown player development and acquisitionis evident in the success of Premier League clubs in Europeanclub competition, the representation of Premier Leagueplayers at international level, and the England team’s positiveperformances at recent tournaments, notably EURO 2020.3.2bn 1.4bn2019/20 worldwidecumulative audience2019/20 broadcastexportsGlobal interest in the Premier League continues to grow; in2019/20, the cumulative global viewership (3.2 billion people)was double that of the UEFA Champions League. The League’scommitted global fanbase drives its commercial success,particularly through broadcast and sponsorship income.The Premier League’s 2019/20 international broadcastrevenues totaled 1.4 billion, accounting for the largestshare of the UK’s audiovisual exports and nearly matchingthe combined total achieved by the BBC, ITV, Channel 4,Channel 5, Sky and the independent sector.2This makes Premier League football a core component ofthe media projection of the UK around the world and a majorcontributor to the positive image and soft power of the UK.1 Gross Value Added (GVA) is a measure of economic activity which can be viewed as the incremental contribution to Gross Domestic Product(GDP). It therefore provides a useful measure for understanding the economic contribution made by particular industries, or businesses, such asthe Premier League and its clubs.1 Premier League Economic and social impact 1.6bn50% Premier League investmentbetween 2012/13 and2020/21 to benefit 90 clubs’ Academies via theElite Player PerformancePlan to develophomegrown4 talentIncrease in the numberof minutes played byUnder-23 homegrownplayers in 2019/20compared to the averageacross the previous threeseasons2 UK TV Exports Report — PACT.3 Data provided by the Premier League.4 UEFA rules determine that a player is deemed homegrown if they have been registered at a club for at least three seasons prior to their 21st birthday.Premier League Economic and social impact 2

After the season was postponedin March 2020, the League worked with the Governmentand other football bodies to enable football to safelyresume behind closed doors through ‘Project Restart’. Thedisruption of fixtures and the absence of fans threatened thesustainability of the League and the impacts it generates.In response to the pandemic, the League made advancedfunds of 125 million available to the football pyramid andunderwrote a financial package to the EFL, including acommitment that no EFL club would go out of business as aresult of the pandemic in the 2020/21 season. In addition,the League committed 35 million for on-the ground deliveryto support the NHS, communities, families and vulnerablegroups, including making facilities available for the nationalvaccination programme.A 250 million COVID-relief package was agreed with the EFLin November 2020, which saw 50 million made availablein grant and monitored grant payments for League One andTwo clubs as well as securing an interest-free loan facilityof up to 200 million that Championship clubs were able toutilise. The Premier League also provided COVID-relief grantsto thousands of EFL, non-league, women’s and grassrootsclubs to help them during the pandemic, as well as preparetheir pitches and stadiums for the return of football and fans,benefitting over 40,000 teams.Supporting communities and wider footballThe Premier League funds 150 Club Community Organisationsacross the Premier League, EFL and National League todeliver programmes in schools and communities. Theprogrammes aim to build stronger communities and promotepositive sporting, health and education outcomes for childrenand young people.This includes funding distributed via the Premier LeagueCharitable Fund (PLCF), which celebrated its 10-yearanniversary in 2020. As one of the biggest sports charitiesin the world, the PLCF invests over 33 million annually tosupport community provision to benefit regions across thecountry where football clubs are based.By March 2021, one year on from the start of the pandemic,the League had funded more than 5,000 activities, whileclubs had made in excess of 100,000 supportive calls tovulnerable fans and delivered over 1.5 million meals to theircommunities.The Premier League is committed to supporting investmentin facilities across the football pyramid and wider game. TheLeague is the sole funder of the Football Stadia ImprovementFund which assists non-league and women’s clubs with thecost of improvements to their grounds. By October 2021, thePremier League had provided more than 5,100 grants, with totalinvestment to date at almost 164 million. 1.3bnEstimated lost broadcastand matchday revenue in2019/20 and 2020/2153 Premier League Economic and social impact18mEstimated reductionin attendance during2019/20 and 2020/211.5m 125mMeals delivered by clubssupported by PremierLeague funding5Advanced funds madeavailable to the footballpyramid in 2019/20As of March 2021.Premier League Economic and social impact 4

The economic impact of Premier League football is felt across the nationThe economic impact would have been up to 15% higher had 2019/20 been a ‘typical’ seasonThe economic activity supported by the League is distributedacross much of England and Wales, due to the geographicalspread of Premier League clubs. While the geography of thePremier League’s economic footprint fluctuates each season,The 2019/20 season was significantlydisrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, whichbrought significant implications for both therevenues and costs of the Premier Leagueand its clubs.2019/20 saw all major regions of England represented by atleast one club. Overall, 72% of the League’s economic footprintwas located outside of London.In the absence of this disruption, the economicimpact of the League would have beensignificantly higher. Overall, it is estimated thatif the 2019/20 season had gone ahead as atypical season, the impacts would have been:Geographical spread ofPremier League clubs in the2019/20 season(Logos in colour) and otherclubs that have competedbetween 2012/13 and2021/22 (monochrome) 3.9 billion in tax revenues ( 0.3 billionhigher) 8.7 billion in GVA ( 1.1 billion higher) 99,000 FTE jobs (5,000 higher) 6.1 billion in revenue ( 1.0 billion higher)West Ham United: pillar of the local economyAn EY report in 2019 found that West Ham United makes asubstantial contribution to its local economy of London andEssex.

3The cycle ofgrowthThe Premier League has a profoundinfluence on all aspects of the Englishgame, from the quality of elite competition,to grassroots participation and investmentin communities.COVID-19 disruptionThe pandemic caused significant disruption to the PremierLeague and the cycle of growth: 472 matches in 2019/20 and 2020/21 were playedbehind closed doors or with limited capacity, resulting inan estimated 18 million reduction in attendances. Fixture and broadcast disruption: delayed end to2019/20 and start to 2020/21; 1.3 billion lost inmatchday and broadcast revenues. Challenges in the community: Clubs adapted to delivervital services to help address new and acute communityneeds presented by the pandemic.for the completion of the 2019/20 season and for the2020/21 season to be played out in full.Maintaining the connection with fansClubs maintained regular dialogue with fans and providedsignificant support during the temporary suspension offootball and while matches were played behind closeddoors.
