It’s back to FA Cup business this midweek as the 16 sides left in do battle in the fifth round. But just how much money to do the teams get for winning an FA Cup Fifth Round match?
League One Fleetwood Town Could Win £225,00 If They Beat Burnley
Fleetwood Town banked a cool £125,000 for beating Sheffield Wednesday in the last round but are on for another big payday if they can see off Burnley in the Fifth Round on Wednesday night.
Okay, in the big-money world of football £225,000 for winning an FA Cup Fifth Round match doesn’t sound like a lot, but it will certainly help the lower league sides left in the competition.
2022-23 FA Cup Final Winners Will Win £2m In Prize Money, But Will Get More Along The Way
The FA Cup Final winners will get £2m for winning that one-off game, with the losing team getting a consolation £1m.
However, with prize money on offer throughout the FA Cup, then really a winning FA Cup team will pick up a lot more along the way.
Premier League teams, for example, enter the FA Cup at the Third Round stage.
Therefore, if an English top-flight side does onto win the FA Cup, they’d have actually won £3.9m with all the payments for winning each round to get to the final. See below the breakdown of what FA Cup teams can win after securing victory after each round.

How Does This Compare to The What The Premier League Winners Win?
In short, the Premier League winning team’s prize dwarfs what the FA Cup winner will get. As we now know a winning FA Cup side will get £2m for winning the final and £3.9m along the way.
However, the 2022 Premier League winners Manchester City were reported to have received £161m for winning the title. Add in that even the bottom Premier League sides gets around £100m, then it’s easy to sometimes see why some clubs have the FA Cup further down their priority list.
