Financial impact of Leeds United's relegation battle last season laid bare by Premier League

Leeds United have seen the largest drop in Premier League television fund distribution across all twenty teams between the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons.

The Premier League published the details on their TV payments from last season last week, which amounted to £2.5 billion with Manchester City receiving the most (£153m) and Norwich City receiving the least (£101m).

The largest increases from 2020/21 to 2021/22 were Brighton who went up £16m, Aston Villa who went up £11m and Tottenham Hotspur who went up £8m.

The Whites were only one of three teams that received a £10m-plus drop, the other two being Leicester City who dropped £11m and Everton who dropped £13m in between the two seasons.

But it was Leeds who lost the most, going from £132.6 million in TV money in 2020/21 to £115.1 million in 2021/22 - a drop of £17.5 million, the most in the Premier League, as pointed out by Twitter account The Swiss Ramble:

Leeds were also not selected in the latest round of televised games which includes 17 of the 20 teams. The only ones not to be chosen alongside the Whites were Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest - two of the three newly-promoted teams.
