FA - FA Cup payments to clubs Season 2008-09
The FA distributes prize money and broadcast payments to clubs for their participation in The FA Cup.
The FA’s stated objective is to use The FA Cup to redistribute funds throughout the game.
Clubs winning ties receive money from The FA's Prize Fund, while for matches on TV, live or highlights, or on the radio, The FA pays the two competing clubs in each featured tie a fee from their Broadcast Fund.
Full details of payments in each round this season are set out below.
