Leeds United are currently top of the ChampionshipClubs promoted to the Premier League for the next two seasons will receive £8m less than expected. As first reported by the Guardian, clubs that join the top flight during that period will be expected to share the cost. The pandemic is costing Premier League clubs a total of £700m when losses to matchday revenue and commercial income are added to the payments to broadcast partners. But BBC Sport understands the news has caused dismay and frustration among some Championship clubs, who feel the Premier League should be providing more financial help to clubs in the Football League. Promotion from the Championship is currently thought to be worth around £180m to the three clubs that come up each year.
