FA Cup prize money for 2024/25 campaign as Liverpool and Chelsea progress to fourth round
Today at 05:15 AM
The 2024/25 FA Cup campaign is well and truly underway after the third round fixtures began this week.
Premier League sides have now entered the competition – after the likes of Bromley, Tamworth and Stockport battled through the early rounds to reach this stage – and there has already been a shock.
For example, Plymouth Argyle recorded a stunning 1-0 win away to Brentford on Saturday, a huge result considering the Bees boast the second best home record of any Premier League side this season.
So, how much will the Championship side – along with the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea – receive for progressing through the third round? Let’s take a look.
FA Cup prize money 2024/25
It will mean more to Plymouth Argyle than it will Chelsea and Liverpool – who started Rio Ngumoha against Accrington Stanley at the age of 16 – but the Football Association (FA) have shelled out a cash prize of £115,000 for those who tasted victory in the FA Cup third round.
