The law establishes that a 25% of the distribution of television rights is based on sports resultsas contained in Royal Decree-Law 5/2015, unanimously approved by Congress.

Let’s take as a reference 1,427 million that the LaLiga Santander clubs received on television in the 21/22 season, the last one with published data in this regard. Half of that amount (713.5) is divided equally, which would come out to about 35.6 million per team. The other half, another 713.5 million, are divided into two parts of 356.7 million each..

One of these halves is for one of them based on what is called social implantation of each club, that is, the collection in subscriptions and average box office of the last five seasons and the participation of each club in the generation of resources for the commercialization of television broadcasts. The other half is due to sports results, which concerns us in this article.
