Women's Euros Prize Money: How much do England get for winning, and is it equal pay?
Full details on the Women’s Euros 2025 prize money after England’s penalty shootout win over Spain.
England left it late again, but retained their Women’s Euros title after Sarina Wiegman’s side edged out Spain in a tense penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw after extra-time in Basel.
After downing Sweden on penalties in the quarter-finals, and Italy in the semis via a goal from Chloe Kelly in the final minute of extra-time, it was the Arsenal superstar who stepped up for England to take the winning spot-kick and seal a memorable Women’s Euros win in Switzerland.
Fans have packed stadiums out across Switzerland over the summer, desperate to catch a glimpse of women’s football’s biggest names, with over half-a-million tickets sold during the tournament, alongside huge viewing figures on both the BBC and ITV, with supporters tuning in to catch a glimpse of England’s Alessia Russo and Spain’s Aitana Bonmati.
A re-run of the Women’s World Cup final two years ago, the Lionesses finally got revenge for their 1-0 defeat in Sydney two years ago, while also becoming the first England team to win a major tournament on foreign soil.
But how much have they earned for winning the Women’s Euros this summer - and how does it compare to the men’s game? Here’s everything you need to know following the Lionesses’ memorable victory in Zurich.
What trophy do the winners of the Women’s Euros 2025 get?
England will receive a trophy, and up to 40 gold medals, with the Women’s Euro trophy is provided by Milan-based company G.D.E. Bertoni. It stands at 150mm tall. Additionally, the Lionesses will qualify to face the winners of the 2025 CONMEBOL Copa América Femenina in the second UEFA-CONMEBOL Women's Finalissima, with the date and location to be announced in due course.
What is the prize money for the Women's Euro 2025?
The prize pot for the Women’s Euro is the biggest ever in 2025, with national associations and players set to receive record rewards. In 2024, UEFA revealed they had approved a €41million prize money pot. Nations participating in the tournament will receive a participation payment of €1.8million, representing a 156% increase on the figure from the 2022 tournament held in England.
In total, each nation was paid:
Win in the group stage: €100,000
Draw in the group stage: €50,000
Reaching the quarter-finals: €550,000
Reaching the semi-finals: €770,000
How much do England get for winning the Women's Euros?
England will be awarded a fee of €1.75million solely for winning the final, in addition to any prize money accrued earlier in the competition. Runners-up Spain were paid €850,000.
With England having already earned €3,320,000 for their tournament performance, the total prize money they will receive is €5,070,000. Spain landed a figure of €4,150,000 despite their defeat, as they won one extra group game.
However, it pales in comparison to the money on offer in last year’s men’s tournament, Euro 2024, which saw eventual winners Spain handed a prize pot of €28.25million. In fact, all 24 teams at Euro 2024 received a participating fee of €9.25million alone, which is significantly higher than the total prize money either of the Women’s Euro 2025 finalists received for their performance in the entire tournament.
