Premier League seeks quick resolution to EFL funding dispute
The Premier League is eager to settle the long‑running disagreement with the English Football League over the distribution of funds. Officials say they are working to reach an agreement as soon as possible, a move that could stabilise finances for clubs across the pyramid.
A dispute over the funding model between the Premier League and the English Football League has stalled for months, leaving clubs uncertain about the distribution of revenue.
Premier League officials have expressed a desire to settle the issue quickly, stating that they are working to reach an agreement "as soon as possible".
The funding model determines how money from television rights and other commercial deals is shared across the football pyramid, making it a critical issue for clubs at all levels.
A resolution would provide clarity for clubs, potentially stabilising budgets and allowing them to plan for the future.
Both parties are reportedly in talks, and the Premier League hopes to finalise the deal in the near term, with an agreement expected to be announced shortly.
