The Lionesses celebrating their Euro 2025 triumph

The Lionesses won one of the biggest ever prize pots at a women’s tournament this summer but how much money did they actually take home?

As reported by SheKicks before the tournament started, there was £34.9million in prize money up for grabs at Euro 2025.

After beating Spain in the final at Euro 2025 it wasn’t just pride that the Lionesses took home with them.

Of the total prize money, £4.4m was set aside for the champions which included performance bonuses.

Around 30% of the prize money was distributed amongst the players within the England squad, but their total sum will be taxed heavily by HMRC.

England reportedly came to an agreement with the FA before Euro 2025 on how much prize money would be given to the squad, with £1.75m shared between the players.

The Lionesses have an opportunity to take home even more prize money at the 2027 World Cup. England are currently 7/1 to win the World Cup with UK betting sites

How much prize money did England win at Euro 2025?

Robert Slater is the director of tax and business advisory firm, Blick Rothenberg, and he provided more insight into how much the players are going to collect.

“The Lionesses will be delighted with their win at Euro 2025 for what it represents and the hard work that went into it.

“But they will have a hefty tax bill to pay to HMRC on their prize money, at a combined total tax and National Insurance Contributions (NIC) liability of roughly £788,900 for the whole squad.

“Although the Lionesses are not earning as much as their male counterparts, the average per player bonuses of £73,000 each will ensure that all of the squad’s players become liable to an effective marginal tax rate of 47 per cent – 45 per cent income tax and 2 per cent NIC on their income above the £125,140 per annum threshold, meaning they could be paying around £34,300 each in tax.”

While there is still a huge gulf between pay for the men and women teams, Euro 2025 marked a significant step forward for the growth of the women’s game financially.
