AS Super Bowl LIX edges closer, the stakes for America’s showpiece have been raised even further.
Both the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will go head-to-head for the ultimate prize in football – the Vince Lombardi Trophy – on Sunday night.
Neither are strangers to the Big Game – reuniting their clash at the Super Bowl stage from two years ago.
The Chiefs are back-to-back champions aiming to become the first side in NFL history to win three Super Bowl titles in a row.
Andy Reid’s side masterminded themselves through another post-season – they defeated the Houston Texans in the divisional round and edged past the rival Buffalo Bills.
The Eagles first beat the Green Bay Packers, then the LA Rams before blitzing past the Jayden Daniels-led Washington Commanders by 32 points.
Their revived match-up comes with big reputation and even bigger potential earnings for the winner.
So, how much is up for grabs?
How much money will the Super Bowl winners and losers get?
The most recent collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) and the NFL was struck in 2020.
It states that each member of the winning team will receive $171,000 for winning the 2025 Super Bowl.
The prize is a $7,000 increase per player over last year’s total of $164,000.
Losing is one thing that neither team will want to consider ahead of Sunday’s showdown, but the monetary return may soften such a blow.
Each player on the losing team will max out at $96,000 in the result of a loss.
All players won’t get the same amount though. The received payments will depend on contract length and roster status.
For context, the winner’s of this year’s Pro Bowl Games will receive $92,000 apiece.
It’s the second time the losers of the Super Bowl will receive more money than the winners of the Pro Bowl, which is thanks to the CBA.
